We all have different types of habits. While good habits will take you far, there are other habits which tend to hold you back. We have to identify those habits. Bad is a very subjective term. For some, smoking, drinking, etc might be bad, while some will consider procrastination, time pass, etc as bad habits. Leaving bad habits is as important as forming new Habits.
I remember one story that I heard in my early years. One man went to a Wise man and told him that I have these bad Habits and I am not able to break them however hard I try. I have done many things but this habit is not leaving me. The Wise man asks him to come next day. Next day when he reaches there, he finds that the Wise Man is holding a tree. The man asks him if he has found solution to which Wise Man tells in affirmative. But, He tells the man that as the tree is not leaving him, He cannot come & tell solution. The man tells Him that it is He who is holding tree and not the tree that is holding Him. If you leave the Tree, dear sir, you will be free.
The Wise Man immediately leaves the tree and comes near the man. He says that it is similar to this. You say that the Bad Habits are not leaving you, when it is in your hands to leave bad Habits.
