The Ladder of Divine Ascent
Ch1-25
Those who have really determined to serve Christ, with the help of spiritual fathers and their own self-knowledge, will strive before all else to choose a place, and a way of life, and a habitation, and exercises suitable for them. For community is not for all, on account of covetousness; and places of solitude are not for all, on account of anger.
Now I interpret this to mean choosing a place to live and a lifestyle that will help you in your struggles; living close to church, communing often, and serving your church. Do not be caught up in worldly things and make choices that you end up not being able to do those important church activities on a regular basis. I see too many people regret decisions they have made when they cannot conveniently go to church.
