Old Habits Die Hard

Traditional patterns form a routine,

Creating rituals that are tough to quash.

Trapped in habitual ways of dependency,

Establishing a reliance on customs.

Indulgences like smoking are rough to beat,

Tendencies such as laziness are hard to crush.

In order to abolish the trends of old habits,

Self-discipline must prevail against obsession.

Even though compulsive behaviors are addictive,

Ambition to quit unhealthy desires is always possible.
