Gretchen Rubin Quote
Lack of Control Loophole: Weirdly, we often have an illusion of control over things we can’t control—If I spend a lot of time worrying, the plane is less likely to crash, If I play my lucky numbers, I’ll win the lottery eventually—but deny control over things we can control (If my cell phone buzzes, I have to check it). We argue that circumstances force us to break a habit, but often, we have more control than we admit.
