It will be difficult to break the habits of thinking Abnegation instilled in me, like tugging a single thread from a complex work of embroidery. But I will find new habits, new thoughts, new rules. I will become something else.

Veronica Roth
About This Quote

We tend to go through life with the same set of habits – we eat, we sleep, we breathe – and we’re lucky if we even notice that they’re habits at all. We’re so used to doing things that way that we don’t even realize what we’re doing. When it comes time to change our lives for the better, however, it can be incredibly difficult. When we first try something new, it takes a lot of effort on our parts to change old patterns and form new ones. But the rewards are worth the effort.
