“Our habits will determine our future. A change in bad habits leads to a change in life.”
They say “Habits Die Hard.” Knowingly we humans succumb to the evil habits easily over good habits. Overcoming our inherent nature and tendencies requires tremendous will power and stringent practices with absolute discipline and determination. Prayers and Love work too. Even after twelve years of arduous training under the tutelage of my KrsnaGuru, it has taken a long-time for me to tone down my nature and continues to push me.
The mind is such a deceitful creature which doesn’t allow you to change. It will make you give a thousand reasons why you are incapable of doing something good for yourself. It hates you have the power to reign over it. So, the mind devices devious ideas to deceive you. The only way of overcoming your mind is by exactly doing what it tells you cannot.
Practice and practice till you one day get there and later it becomes an effortless action for you to do it and mind will make it happen naturally. You don’t have to sweat anymore. The mind is then trained to listen to you and will guide you in the right direction.
“Know that; we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is a habit and not an act anymore.”
