Habits Quote by David R Loy
““Intentional actions, repeated over and over, become habits. Habitual ways of thinking, feeling, acting, and reacting construct and compose my sense of of self: the Kind of person I am. The kind of person I am does not fully determine what occurs to me but strongly affects what happens and how I respond to it.””
