Now's the time to make a new start. Resist your inclination. Unlearn your bad behavior, lest it lead you little by little to worse behavior.
Oh, if you'd only make a turnaround! You'd start pleasing yourself and stop annoying others. Living your life well, that's the way to pay more attention to your spiritual progress.
