Enchiridion 10 looks at how we can habituate ourselves to make progress. We have to try and succeed on a continuous basis until we improve. It means we need to break old habits.

When it comes to our habits we have the ability to choose whether or not we want to change. We do have it in ourselves. It means managing triggers through self-control. External factors seek to impact our choices in life.

When challenges come up how do we meet them? We need to make continuous work in order to have fulfilment. External factors do not need to control us. We just need to develop the right habits.

If you have been used to a habit for a long time, it becomes quite tough for you to break it, though you know that it isn’t a habit that you should be pursuing. Smoking is one of the best examples of this fact. However, with the right kind of attitude and action plan, it is possible to get rid of your old habits too.
