Second Habits. Suppose after just taking a bite of burger you fall down on the ground because of a heart attack. Will you eat the next bite? If after just smoking a cigarette you turn into an 80-year-old man. Will you smoke another cigarette? The problem is there are no instant drawbacks to our bad habits. Doing them gives us instant gratification, momentary happiness. This is why we are not able to look at the long term losses our bad habits will cause. We have to change our bad habits into good ones. And to do this we will have to use our “why power”, you might have heard of will power. But why power is more important than will power. Why power is the reason you want to change your habit. Suppose a keep a wooden plank on the ground and ask you to walk on it in exchange of 2000 Dollars. You will not think much and just do it. But suppose I keep the same wooden plank from a 15-floor building to another 15-floor building and ask you to do it. You will straight away say no, because for 2000 Dollars you will not risk your life. Now suppose the other building is on fire and your parents are stuck in that building. You will immediately rush to the other building whether I give you 2000 Dollars or not. This will happen because in this case your why power is very strong. You want to save your parents! So this way you need a strong why to change your habits.
