As long as one is alive, habits will remain. Nature gave us habits for the sake of efficiency. In habits, there is no decision-making involved. You just do it.

Let these be your habits.

Questioner: Pranaam Acharya ji. Acharya ji, allow me to apologize for the abrupt question last time. I was a little afraid of writing another question. However, I do wish to write. Please talk about it as I am an avid listener on what you consider shall be good for me.

I do give it opportunity, like reading, working in a good environment, in a good culture. I like my work, which is customer service for a travel community.
However, I am wary of live people. I like to remain aloof, uninvolved. It's good for some reasons and a bad excuse for many others. And right now, I feel I may be stand too much trapped in habits than I actually realize. Maybe I am just imagining my moments of freedom and aloneness. After a long wait, I have received the book by Gurdjieff, All and Everything, which I wish to start soon. Please talk about breaking habits and living a more aware life.
