Stopping From Stopping

We find ourselves wanting to stop. Because we want to enjoy life and live in the moment. We want to stop our thoughts that make us suffer, take us from this moment, we want to stop our harmful habits. We focus on stopping. How to stop. What needs to be done in order to stop.
