“Our habits, the habits that we develop, positive momentum habits and negative momentum habits, we have both. We have those habits that push us, propel us forward, that get us excited, that get us moving, that get us doing, and then we have those habits that are just like anchors that we throw out behind us."- Christoph Merrill
