Our daily habits — honorable and dishonorable, noble and ignoble, vital and vile — are revelatory. Our sense of self is fashioned partially by what we employ to crank us up in order to charge through every day, or stated otherwise, what vices we partake of and what substances we are addicted to using.Kilroy J.

About This Quote
Your habits shape who you are. Our daily habits – honorable and dishonorable, noble and ignoble, vital and vile – are revelatory. Our sense of self is fashioned partially by what we employ to crank us up in order to charge through every day, or stated otherwise, what vices we partake of and what substances we are addicted to using. For instance, a person who drinks a lot of alcohol will tend to become a belligerent, irresponsible drunk.
A person who spends all their time high on drugs will tend to become a druggie devoid of any free will or ability to think critically. These habits reveal our innermost selves for what it is.
