Analysis
A deftly phrased simile: bad habits are like bad people; as the latter can do us great harm, and over a long period of time, so can the former. It is therefore a salubrious resolution to "chase away" all those bad habits, out of our lives, as we would have shunned wicked people who have damaged us.
