Spiritual PROCRASTINATION and THE CHOICES THAT SHAPE US.

Vigil implies watchfulness and control over one's free choices. Why do we procrastinate? Why do we endlessly delay making a real beginning in our spiritual life? What holds us back? What erodes our free will?
The answer, almost always, is hidden behind the small, seemingly insignificant choices we make on a daily basis. In order to grow spiritually, we need to learn how to train our free will and how to keep watch over these choices, so we may be the ones in control over them and not the other way around.

Fr Seraphim Aldea from Mull Monastery - the Orthodox Monastery of All Celtic Saints on the Isle of Mull in Scotland - continues the introduction to Prayer by Night by drawing our attention to effects small, daily choices have upon our spiritual journey. Vigil implies watchfulness and control over one's free choices.
1. small choices compound and they have major implications in the future;
2. physical acts, choices regarding our bodies, have spiritual effects;
3. repeated choices create a spiritual 'instinct' which can overrun our free will in the future, and can work for us / or against us in the dark moments of our lives.
