"These examples emphasize that when you are around or with a negative or destructive situation or environment long enough you will go from objection to tolerance, from tolerance to acceptance, and from acceptance to participation and even enjoyment. It makes no difference how little it was to start with, it will grow." - Zig Ziglar
Zig was talking about smoking. On the flip side, if a person can come around to like smoking, which the body rejects so thoroughly at the outset... what's to stop us from picking up a powerfully good habit in the same way? Practices like exercise are sweaty, time-consuming and apparently worthless at the start. Even today, that first mile I run is like being in sand. In time, the benefits become their own form of addiction - the best kind.
