I'm coming out(side)

Why are habits so hard to curb? Is it because we grow so used to them that our sense of familiarity rests within indulging in those habits? Or is it because we tend to think we'll lose a part of our identity? If that's so, why do we constantly strive to improve ourselves? Why do we follow paths that will take us to newer destinations? We should always prefer the comfort of sitting at home, with coffee resting on our end table while we play video games and watch TV shows. Yet we still see ourselves in places that we haven't been to. Sights we've never seen. Feelings we haven't experienced. What is it, then, that causes this dichotomy? To answer that, I need to get off my chair and head outside. And I'm too comfortable.
