There is power in repetition for either way of the coin whether it be good or the bad side. Often the bad side or good side is an interpretation of the observer and on the other hand the observed, reached subjectively according to personal learning, attitudes and experience. There is therefore all the definition of common sense in repetition.
On the good side repetition which may be equated to practice brings perfection in what ever trade it is that we are conducting. Successful sports men and women like football players, talk about the huge number of times on daily basis they kick the ball in the desired way repeatedly to achieve perfection. The average only do the minimum number of repetition in their vocation with expectations and at times wonder why they are not getting the applause others get. Over time such dedication to repetition of the good practices with faith, build strong character in a person and charismatic magnetism.
The bad repeat the bad things sometimes consciously and in other people subconsciously without knowing. Some people do not know as they would have not been introduced to enlightenment and thus their repetition would be always of the negative. Such repetition of bad things bring on bad habits which develop into destructive tendencies that can eat one from inside out. Self awareness is the best practice in illuminating the bad habits and drawing of a course to overcoming the negative tendencies. We all need the sanity of repetition for survival!

“There is very little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative. —— One of the surest ways to find happiness for yourself is to devote your energies toward making someone else happy. Happiness is an elusive, transitory thing. And if you set out to search for it, you will find it evasive. But if you try to bring happiness to someone else, then it comes to you.”
“If you share happiness and all that is good and desirable, you will attract happiness, and the good and desirable. —- If you share misery and unhappiness, you will attract misery and unhappiness to yourself. —- Happiness begins at home. Members of your family are people. Motivate them to be happy like a good salesman motivates his prospects to buy.”
“In his book, The Power of Faith, Rabbi Louis Bienstock said this on the subject of happiness: — ‘Man was born together – all of one piece. It is the kind of world he has fashioned that has torn him apart. A world of folly! A world of falsehood! A world of fear! With the power of faith, let him put himself together again – faith in himself, faith in fellowmen, faith in destiny, faith in his God. Then and only then will the world truly be together. Then and only then will man find happiness and peace. —– Remember, if man is right his world will be right. He can attract happiness just as he can attract wealth, unhappiness, or poverty. …….. “
