Cultivate habit patterns. I love this. I stole that phrase, "habit patterns," from Brian Tracy. I've always appreciated it because I noticed that the brain develops its own patterns. It has neuroplasticity. If you read something, if you listen to something, the brain just starts to develop a new neural pathway to accommodate it. You can cultivate habit patterns in the same way they are ingrained in us. When we deliberately cultivate them, they become ingrained in us. If you consider this, I read this a few weeks ago, maybe a few months ago, whatever you're doing, you're practicing. Consider, let's just say you spent more time than you planned to randomly look at a screen, like on a phone. That's a practice. And you're programming your mind to do that, to sort of be random.

Nowadays, things come in videos that are 10 seconds or two minutes, and your mind then gets programmed in that way. Is that the habit pattern you want? Remember, whatever you do, you're practicing. So cultivation of habit patterns that take you towards your goals, not away from them, that's something exciting. You get yourself going in a healthy direction for body, mind, spirit. What is a habit? A settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up. So if you can get used to doing the things that are taking you towards a higher level of consciousness, and those become hard to give up, you don't want to give them up, because they feel so good to do, you'll feel extraordinarily empowered in your life, and it's all possible. And the last slide: Take responsibility. For what? For refining your desires.
