Ruled by Habits by Napoleon Hill Cosmic habitforce controls all human relationships and determines whether an individual will be a success or a failure in his life work. For nature uses this law as a medium by which every living thing is forced to take on and become a part of the environment in which it lives and moves daily. All of us are ruled by habits. They are accepted by us because of repeated thoughts and experiences. Therefore, we can control our earthly destiny to the extent that we control our thoughts. As we have seen, our thought habits, our mental attitude, are the one and only thing over which each individual has the right of complete control. You create patterns of thought by repeating certain ideas, or behavior, and the law of cosmic habitforce takes over those patterns and makes them more or less permanent (depending upon the intensity with which they are repeated or practiced) unless or until you consciously rearrange them. Man is the only living creature equipped with the power of choice through which he may establish his own thought and behavior patterns, or habits, or break them and rearrange them at will. But while the Creator has given man the privilege of controlling his thought, He has also subjected man to the law of cosmic habitforce through which his thought habits must invariable clothe themselves in their physical likeness and equivalent. Cosmic habitforce does not dictate what thoughts a man must express, but it takes over whatever he does think and do, and sees to it that man's thoughts and actions go on to fulfill the measure of their creation. If a man's dominating thoughts are of poverty, the law translates these thoughts into physical terms of misery and want. But if a man's dominating thoughts are of happiness and contentment, peace of mind and material wealth, the law transforms them into their physical counterpart. Man builds the pattern through his dominating thoughts, while the law of cosmic habitforce casts the mold according to the patterns man develops.
