“Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken”
— Warren Buffett
Simplified Meaning:
Habits, especially the small ones we do every day, can seem harmless or go unnoticed at first. For example, checking your phone every time you get a notification might not seem like a big deal. Over time, however, if you keep repeating this action, it can become such a strong habit that it feels like you can't stop, even if you want to. This is similar to the way a chain might be very light and easy to carry at first, but if you add more links to it over time, it becomes heavy and difficult to break free from. If we’re not careful, small daily actions can grow into strong habits that control us. To avoid this, it's important to be mindful of our behaviors early on and make conscious choices before they turn into strong habits that are hard to change.
