When a person sincerely tries repeatedly to get rid of a bad habit and does not succeed, he becomes despondent and cannot summon up courageous thoughts. Bad habits almost paralyze the will. *The victim helplessly thinks: ” What is the use of trying?”*<\/p>\n
Mental slavery to a sense habit is the result of continued repetition of the specific act that gives birth to a particular habit. *By attentively thinking about a certain thing* every day, an individual makes that thing a part of his consciousness.*<\/p>\n
When a habit becomes an integral facet of one’s thought, it becomes
\n” second nature.” This
\n” second nature” is so powerful it convince one that he can never get rid of his own ” nature,” even if in exchange he were to receive a whole world of superior satisfaction.<\/p>\n
