Although most people know what their bad habits are and want to rid themselves of them, a majority of these people find it very difficult to do so. This is because cessation of habitual behavior is immediately and vividly painful, while whatever benefit is to be gained by the absence of the habit is perceived only dimly because it is remote. The information above most strongly supports the statement that the people who are most successful at ending their bad habits are those who ['have succeeded in the past at modifying their behavior', 'can vividly imagine remote but attainable benefit', 'can vividly imagine their present pain being felt in the future', 'are relatively unaware of their own behavioral characteristics']
