Unravelling Bad Habits...

I love this analogy, not only for the understanding of what is needed to build incredibly powerful habits, but also because it teaches us how to break our bad habits too. You see, for years I tried (unsuccessfully) to break my bad habits with brute force, assuming that if my willpower was strong enough I would be able to snap that cable and move on. Now, though, I realise that the cable is often too strong to snap, but by unravelling a single thread each day we ultimately reach a point where the cable has no more strength. Sure, it might take a while, but with patience and discipline, I think our chances of success are pretty damn good…
