Repel The Thought…

Repel The Thought…

‎”Repel the thought, for if you don’t, it becomes an idea.

Repel the idea, for if you don’t it will become a desire.

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 al-Qayyim}
