Habits of thought are mental magnets that draw to you certain things, people, and conditions. Weaken a bad habit by avoiding everything that occasioned it or stimulated it, without concentrating upon it in your zeal to avoid it. Then divert your mind to some good habit and steadily cultivate it until it becomes a dependable part of you.
- Parama­hansa Yogananda

God's love is so all-embracing that no matter what wrongs we have done, He ­forgives us. If we love Him with all our hearts He wipes out our karma.
