Habits can be altered, forged, and given up at any stage – that’s the power and the fluctuating moods of a human will. However, one thing I do admit about habits, one has to enjoy it to sustain it for the long term. And, don’t worry if you fall out of a habit, you can always get to it as long as you want it.
