HABIT Habits are formed by first consciously thinking ,and then unconsciously acting . But few realize that when one consciously thinks ,something must happen to his thoughts. What one thinks to-day will to-morrow be a part of his memory;and since memory is active ,what he thinks to-day as a conscious thought will to-morrow be submerged but active thought. This is how a habit is formed;first it is a desire ,then comes the expression of this desire ,then desire becomes subjective and the subconscious action of thought causes it to be performed automatically . First we control thought ,then thought control us . 'First the man takes a drink, Then the drinks takes a drink, Then the drink takes the man.' Constant repetition gradually forms such a thought force on the subjective side of life that the very force created it . How careful we should be about what we let down into the deeper currents of mentality! All habits are formed in much the same way ;they are at first conscious; then they become unconscious or subconscious . A person may create such a strong desire that it will compel it into execution ;this is called mania.
