I don't know if it has happened to them, but sometimes I have had the experience that even though it is hard for me to do something at first, in the end, it is easy for me. In those moments, I remember a philosophical truth: we are a creature of habit. 

APPROACH

The human being has an innate capacity to accommodate and adapt to practically everything, that is why it is said that he is a being of habit.

This is a great advantage for our lives since it not only facilitates many things but also opens our possibilities almost to the infinite, since, once an action is undertaken and we are used to it, it is only a matter of time and constancy to harvest its fruits.


ELEMENTS

Our particular adaptation to the environment. This is a special characteristic of the human being, by which, we can make a connection with other people, no matter where we are.

What lies behind the cultures. Sometimes, we like or dislike some cultural manifestations, also called sometimes as local customs; let's consider how in those cases it is often about some acts that have been transmitted like that from generation to generation until they become a culture.

Working to establish habits. Juan Gabriel used to say "Habit is stronger than love", therefore, those actions to which we are accustomed have great strength in us, so it will be easier for us to perform them.


APPLICATION

- Let's take advantage of the capacity we have to adapt to different environments and situations to learn from them, and thus, integrate everything within our personal growth.

- Let's respect cultural traditions since behind them there is a history of "customs", which have led them to be built as such.

- Without taking away merit and heart from what we do (The young person who studies, for example), it is good to create habits in our lives, since they form our character, which paves the way for us to achieve our personal goals in life.
