"Repel the thought, for if you don't, it becomes an idea. So repel the idea;
for if you don't it will become a desire. So fight against that (desire),
for if you don't, it will become a determination and a passion. And if you
don't repel that, it will become an action. And if you don't replace it with
its opposite, it will become a constant habit. So at that point,* it will be
difficult for you to change it*."
- Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah
