Two words should be committed to memory and obeyed alternately...persist and resist. - Epictetus

And as proof that he has delivered them to you, bring your preconceptions to bear. Bring the arguments of philosophers. Bring what you’ve often heard, and often said yourself; what you’ve read, and what you’ve practised.

So if you like doing something, do it regularly; if you don't like doing something, make a habit of doing something different.

When you feel burning desire for something that appears pleasureful, you are like a person under a spell. Instead of acting on impulse, take a step back — wait till the enchantment fades and you can see things as they are.
