So much of what we do every single day is the result of habits that we have formed over time.

Depending on what they are, our habits will either make us or break us. We become what we repeatedly do.

Things start out as hopes and end up as habits.

Our ways of relating to each other become like habits.

In a sense, habits never really disappear. Once formed, they always remain in our neurology.

Habit allows us to go from 'before' to 'after,' to make life easier and better. Habit is notorious - and rightly so - for its ability to direct our actions, even against our will; but by mindfully shaping our habits, we can harness the power of mindlessness as a sweeping force for serenity, energy, and growth.

We can use decision-making to choose the habits we want to form, use willpower to get the habit started, then - and this is the best part - we can allow the extraordinary power of habit to take over. At that point, we're free from the need to decide and the need to use willpower.

Every habit is made of three parts... a cue, a routine and a habit. Most people focus on the routine and behavior, but these cues and rewards are really the way you make something into a habit.

Habits are malleable throughout your entire life.

I think if you stop bad habits, and you stop long enough, you develop good habits.
