Your inability to do something, such as break a habit, can cause a pinch. When you are deeply pained by something, then that will rid you of that habit. If you are pained by your shortcomings, then you are a sadhak (spiritual seeker). Pain pushes you out of addiction.
If you observe your behavior, you will notice that you procrastinate when doing something good but hurry when it comes to doing something bad. For example, if you are angry, you want to express it immediately. Do you know why? Because virtues are your very nature and will never leave you while your vices are not your nature and they will leave you. Negative tendencies are transient and will leave you if you do not act on them immediately. Frustration and crying cannot stay long, especially with the same intensity. Perhaps you are concerned that your vices will leave you if you do not act on them!
It is wise to postpone acting on vices, for they will not stay, and to act immediately to do good. Otherwise, you will continue to postpone doing good for the next few lifetimes!
