We are unconsciously forming habits every moment of our lives. Some are habits of a desirable nature; others are those of a more undesirable nature. Some, though not so bad in themselves, are exceedingly bad in their cumulative effects, and cause us at times much loss, much pain and anguish, while their opposites, on the contrary, would bring so much peace and joy, as well as continually increasing power.
Do we have the power to determine at all times what kind of habits will be formed in our lives? In other words, is the formation of habits, the formation of character, a matter of mere chance, or do we have it under our own control? We do, totally and absolutely.
