Bound

Habits are first cobwebs, then cables. The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.  Samuel Johnson

[Bad] Habits are stealth in their movements.  Like Ninja Warriors sneaking up upon their enemy they don't make their presence known until they have you in their grip and unable to break free.  [Bad] Habits are stealth because they start with subtlety and then move into a full on attack on your weakest points.  That's where we will be "got" every time.  At our weak places, where we have not built up a defense.  Drawing from today's quote - a cobweb looks light, airy, unable to do much harm BUT it has the strength of the thickest cable and when it traps its prey there is no escaping.  The good news for us is that we can break the cables of [bad] habit but it will take determination, effort, perseverance, and an inner fortitude we aren't sure we possess.  Search for it, find the inner fortitude and break the strength of [bad] habits over yourself.
