What life experience gave you a lasting habit? Oyinbo man talk say it takes an average of 66 days to learn a new habit and 21 days to break an old habit. They even went further to give us steps to guide us in habit formation. According to Ruth Penner in her article titled habit formation on https://www.ihomefitness.com, she explained 6 guidelines for habit formation. They include; 1. Write down your goal, and use the SMART principle. 2. Post that written goal somewhere that will act as a constant reminder 3. Recognize the underlying factors. 4. Aim to change only one habit at a time. 5. Take baby steps, don't try and do it all at once. 6. Repeat, repeat and repeat.

HOW TO DEAL WITH DISAPPOINTMENTS I took some time to observe one of my neighbours whom I admire; she's young beautiful, chubby,  adorable, sweet and likes asking questions till the saliva in her mouth runs dry.  We share one weakness in common, that is; we dream too much.

One of the youth pastors, Pastor Ray, had a way of asking questions that triggered discussions and contributions.  One question that evening was 'What's that thing you can't stand in a guy ladies?'.  Almost all the ladies had something to say. One that fascinated the young congregation so much as the one dropped by 5ft.4 tall,  elegant and beautiful lady.  She's so beautiful that when she rose hands to speak, all eyes followed her. She stammered for a moment but the young men encouraged her ( at least if they know it, they will drop it before they come proposing to her). Unfortunately, what their beautiful sister said was nothing they could drop or do some about if they had it. She said with  'My name is Mabel and I just can't stand a ...
