LIFE DECISION

HABIT & WILLPOWER
BEGIN	Repeated behavior is a habit.
INSTINCT	Habits are instinctive, without critical thought.
FEEL GOOD	Feeling good is the goal. A habit that works feels good.
FEEL BETTER	To feel better, Review a Habit.
FORCE	If the Force of Habit makes a habit helpful—good. If not helpful—not good.
WILLPOWER	A strong Will has strong Willpower. Willpower chooses.
BEHAVIOR	Habitual behavior is repeated. Learned behavior can become habitual.
CONCERN	Having a concern sometimes causes reflection.
INSIGHT	Insight into a concern may cause Review a Habit.
WILL	The Will tries to resolve concerns with Stimulus, Willpower and Effect.
EXTEND	When a concern is perceived, connection is with those who agree. Narrow insights serve narrow populations—wider insights serve larger populations. Hopefully, extending the insight produces Solid, lasting effects.
ERRORS	Willpower makes characteristic errors that sabotage a positive effect. Focus on a goal regardless of facts blindly accepts any error. (See #6, below)

CHOICE	When insight brings “revelation” without truth, there are two choices: One: Do nothing, and pretend that the effect revealed is truthful. Two: Change a habit to produce a truthful effect. (Old habits die hard.)
DENIAL	Denying is destructive. When Will(Willpower) wants a habit reviewed, change powers new behavior.
DECIDE	Willpower chooses new behavior using its Mind faculty. With Focused Purpose, the Mind may discover a true Revelation.
