I’ve always believed that to let go of an undesirable habit or a repetitive thought, it is helpful to substitute with a strong positive one.
There, I said exactly as you had put it 😀
hmm..so true, new habits dear to the heart pushing away those oldies!! but then, they never really go away, they lurk somewhere in the background, waiting for the right opportunity to woo the heart back..
Maybe.. But when the potent of new ones are overwhelming, those oldies become obsolete over time.. And even if it woos back, there is no point to it anymore..

I thought the first 4 lines made an excellent point…. without the 5th line! 🙂

Unless close to heart, the old ones just go on hibernation.. 😉 At least I think so..

An old habit close to the heart
Could die in a fraction of a second
If it created distance
Where non-existed before
Or if a new habit became closer

Hmmm…this calls for an interesting debate…the potency of ‘new’ often pales in front of the ‘intensity’ of the ‘old’…and true love…never is too late

What if the new is true love and old isn’t intense? 😉
