“We each have a litany of holiday rituals and everyday habits that we hold on to, and we often greet radical innovation with the enthusiasm of a baby meeting a new sitter. We defend against it and - not always, but often enough - reject it. Slowly we adjust, but only if we have to.” IfsEnoughBabyHabitInnovationMeetingsEverydayEnthusiasmRadicalHolidayRejectsRitual Book:Turning Points Source: Turning Points
“It's good to do things that are out of the norm. I'm a creature of habit and I like to stay in my own little comfort zone, but you have to reach out of that sometimes. And when you do that, you grow. And growth is what we all need and what we all strive for because we want to get better and better and better each day. And that's one of the things that I say to myself as far as a ritual that I have every day: "What can I do today to make it better than it was yesterday?"” WantNeedsLittlesSometimesTodayGrowsGrowthMy OwnHabitComfortCreaturesStriveYesterdayGet BetterEach DayZoneRitualReach OutComfort ZoneNormCreatures Of Habit Author:LaToya Jackson
“I'd have no rituals, but I'm a person of compulsive habit. That's just some awful residue of a ritual. And one of the reasons for that is my living this life, which is otherwise so free of obligations. It's not at all unusual for anybody who's independently employed to crave a way of living whereby they create the structures without which their lives would otherwise start slopping around all over the place.” ReasonHabitObligationRitualUnusual Author:Geoff Dyer
