Summary

This quote suggests that habits have an inherent advantage over rules. Habits, once developed, do not require constant monitoring or enforcement like rules do. Moreover, unlike rules that one has to consciously remember and adhere to, habits autonomously govern our actions and behaviors. They become a part of our routine and help us stay on track effortlessly. In this way, habits act as a support system that keeps us grounded and consistent automatically, ultimately contributing to our overall wellbeing.

Youre growing, learning. And isn't the journey, the experience, not the destination, what life is all about?

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it -- and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again -- and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.
