About This Quote

Drifting with things is a habit it takes almost dying to break: A habit is a routine that we have developed. We tend to drift with things and we often find ourselves in trouble. The fact that we have developed that habit has made us blind to the fact that we are drifting towards the wrong direction. It is only when something happens to shake us up, such as loss of a loved one, or damage to our reputation, or even an injury, that we realize the gravity of our situation and start to take steps in the right direction.
