Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions.
EpictetusWhatever you would make habitual, practice it; and if you would not make a thing habitual, do not practice it, but accustom yourself to something else.
