“When you don’t do the habitual thing, you are bound to feel pain … So we opt again & again for short-term gratifications that in the long run keep us stuck in the same cycles of suffering … Instead of seeing our emotional reactions as obstacles to be overcome, it is more helpful to see them as opportunities for trying new behaviors – as open doorways to awakening.” ~ Pema Chodron
