What's the number one bad habit to avoid in life? If you want a meaningful and successful and purposeful life? You might think it's something like drinking too much, doing drugs, smoking. And those are clearly bad habits. But I think the most common bad habit is passivity. Simply going through life in a passive manner. When you eat the garbage that people put in front of you from advertisements, when you take the most boring job to buy stuff to fill your house, things you don't really want or need, when you just consume the same mindless entertainment and trivial news that's put in front of you, you're passive. And that destroys your own ability to live life on your terms. So if you had to get rid of one bad habit, I would say it's being too passive.
