Human beings are entirely creatures of habit
Young children are born with no habit loops
They're essentially born blank slates
Then they habituate themselves to things and they learn patterns 
And they get conditioned 
And they use that to get through everyday life
And
Habits are good
Habits are good
Habits are good
Habits can allow you to background process certain things 
Habits are good
So that your frontal lobe, stays available to solve brand new problems
We also unconsciously pick up habits 
In the background and we keep them for decades
We may not realize that they're bad for us 
Until we're ready to move on them
To some extent, our attitude in life
Our mood, our happiness levels, depression levels, these are also habits
Habits
Do we judge people? 
Habits
How often do we eat? 
What kind of food do we eat? 
Habits
Do we walk or do we sit? Do we move? Do we exercise?
Habits
Do we read? 
Do we read?
Do we read read read
These are habits as well
You absolutely need habits to function
You cannot solve every problem in life as if it is the first time it's thrown at you
What we do is we accumulate all these habits
We put them in the bundle of identity 
Ego, ourselves, and then we get attached to that
I'm Shane. This is the way I am
I'm Naval. This is the way I am
It's really important to be able to uncondition yourself
To be able to take your habits apart and say
Oh, okay, that's a habit that I probably picked up from when I was a toddler 
And I was trying to get my parents attention
Now I've just reinforced it and reinforced it and reinforced it 
And I call it a part of my identity
Is it serving me anymore? 
Is it making me happier? 
Is it making me healthier? 
Is it making me accomplish whatever I want to set out to accomplish right now?"
And so I think you can unconditionally yourself
You can untrain yourself
It's just harder
It takes work, it takes effort
Usually the big habit changes comes 
When there's strong desire-motivators attached to them
Habits are good
Habits are good
Habits are good
