We have met the enermy, and they is us

Too often our personal order for the day is a quick fix consisting of some gimmick that requires no change or commitment on our part. We want something easy to use and guaranteed to work. Something that will solve all of our problems - a panacea; but there is none. We find ourselves blaming others for our shortcomings, when the real culprit is ourselves. All improvement requires hard work, yet most of us aren't very fond of that kind of work. We prefer taking the easy way out. It's our habits that lie at the heart of the issue.
