We often think of habits as bad things.  Smoking habit, a habit of eating at certain
times even when your not hungry, etc.  Habits can be good also.  Like making a habit
of having good manners. Making a habit of considering others before you act.
Spiritual development can be aided by developing good habits also.  
    In this modern, materialistic world, it can be hard to remember to set aside time for spiritual
development. If you make a habit of it, setting aside time regularly, preferably
daily, to work on spiritual development, it will soon become a habit and you won't have
to think about it and remind yourself to do it.
