Habits

 We think we are who we are supposed to be, when in fact we are simply stuck in bad habits formed over time.  We don’t even know the bad habits are habits.  We call them routines, or simply our way of living.  If we are lucky, we will come across someone who sponsors good habits and can see our bad habits.  When the bad habits bring enough misery, we will listen to the good habit person.  But meditation can also be very helpful because then some spiritual power within us will begin to show us a better fit for our daily life.  There may be some habits or practices that might be good but not for us.  You could be practicing a religious path, but not in the way that best suits you.  A drunk cannot take a drink which might be good for some one not a drunk.  And so it goes.
