habits [Theme]
The only thing that happens often is habits. But you don’t notice the usual.
You need to accustom yourself to prayer when everything is good, so that this skill will work when things are bad. Because at the moment of testing, each of us experiences carnal weakness - panic, fear, confusion, loss of strength; and if the spirit, strengthened by prayer, is vigorous, then it subdues the weakened flesh, guides it, and gives courage to accomplish feats.
Personally, I try to turn everything sad into a joke. This is a matter of habit, which is easily developed. A lot depends not even on the events in our lives, but on our attitude to the situation, our mood. Just think when you are sad: many people cannot even dream of what you have.
Habits should be such as not to harm the future.
To change your habits, you need desire and a lot of effort. But even a great effort always begins with a small step. So, get started, don't procrastinate. Change the most necessary things first, and then change everything you can. And soon you yourself will not even notice how you will do what you previously thought was impossible.
People are characterized by bad habits: on the one hand, brushing aside other people's difficulties and adversities, and on the other, not appreciating what they have been given.
Allowing yourself to make fun of children is almost a crime. They leave an indelible mark on the child’s soul, which affects his habits and actions in adulthood.
Thinking habits are mental magnets that attract certain things, people and conditions to you. Reduce the bad habit by avoiding anything that triggers or stimulates it, without focusing on it in your zeal to avoid it. Then turn your mind to some good habit and steadily develop it until it becomes a reliable part of you.
Quote Explanation: Spiritual Diary of the Great Master Paramahansa Yogananda, March 27 “Habits”
It is surprising that people love their habits and get tired of strangers.
The concepts of "Soviet people" or "Soviet people", derived from the form of government, look somewhat unnatural. It would also be unnatural to call any people monarchical or parliamentary, or to unite all the peoples of the countries of the common market with the name of the common market people. But still, I often use the adjective “Soviet”, because I don’t know any other common name for people of various nationalities inhabiting the USSR. And it is necessary, because the general laws, rules of conduct and conditions of existence that have been in force throughout the life of several generations, without completely destroying national differences, develop traditions and habits common to all. I don’t put any negative meaning into the word “Soviet” in this case. Among Soviet people, as among any other people, there are many smart, stupid, talented, mediocre, noble and scoundrels. But try to put a Russian, an American, an Eskimo and a Thai in the same prison cell, keep them in this cell for a sufficient number of years and you will see that all of them, with all their national and personal differences, will have the same inclinations. and habits, they will all write in small handwriting, dislike bright sunlight, and will all be claustrophobic. And if their children and grandchildren grow up in the same cell, then from early childhood they will learn to deceive the guards, hide small things in the folds of their clothes, and bread under their pillows, and even released into the wild and into a prosperous life, they will be for a very long time to keep these habits and, perhaps, to pass them on by inheritance.
The clock stopped moving and rushed ...
- Bragin is such a person, everything can be expected from him.
Habit is a terrible thing.
Once upon a time, the handsome Simonov, who knew how to please the Soviet reader, said through the mouths of his heroes - the German: “We still taught you to fight,” and the Russian: “And we will wean you!” - so this is my share to wean not the Germans, but our compatriots from this terrible habit of shedding blood for any reason, wanting revenge, climbing into the Caucasus with your charter, going on liberation campaigns.
The drunk sees double, but the world is crooked, not the eyes. A genius and a sage have much in common with a madman. Habit distinguishes wisdom, habit makes foolishness related. Unpredictability is captive, unpredictability is wise; as long as the truth is scolded, the infantry marches dusty.
