One thing I have found is, what you repeatedly do becomes a habit. One habit that was hard for me to break from was smoking, it has been three years and am so glad to be free from that habit. It can be smoking or any other habit, some habits can seem they have power over you, but there is something in you that has more power to over come anything.
There was a good friend I met, I didn't realise he was a teacher at the time, "teacher", as in anyone who inspires and teaches you to be better. Anyone can be your teacher, your parents, schools, quotes, someone, anything that inspires you, to do well, be better.
This friend was studying Buddhism, what he kept motivating and inspiring me to do was meditation. This is the best daily habit I been doing or when I can.
You want peace, happiness, all those are in you, when you learn to meditate, you start to realise peace is attainable on earth, probably not all at once, but you do realise how habitual thoughts are. If there is one thing good you learn in this life, is that peace and happiness is attainable, and its within yourself, when you find peace with yourself, you find peace in life.
There is probably 101 tutorials to do meditation. Here's a simple one, to sit cross legged hands on knee's, eyes closed. Just sit in silence, awareness of breath. Sometimes if your mind can't be silent is to smile, I find its good energy to smile and something to keep me focused on. Some can sit for hours meditating, but as long as you can do 5 minutes that is more then enough. Just a little meditation can give a calm mind.
What is this magic, this power in you? When you find this inner peace in you, you start to shine, you realise you don't need to be no yoggi meditating on a hill top, to find peace, you don't need to find happiness in someone else, when you find this inner zest in you, you are the power, the passion, you are the driving force.
