The Excellence of Habit

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.” Will Durant in summation of an Aristotle idea.

At the beginning of every year we set goals for ourselves. Throughout the year, we may reminisce on those goals, as often they have become old friends. We’ve thought about the goals and have repeated them to ourselves, over and over again, year after year. An although the goals are truly a desired change, changing our habits are not. 

 So our first step should not be in directly attaining the desired result, but a desire in creating a habit, that after time, will produce the result desired. You get to create your new self with behaviors that if practice daily, begins to feel like the self that you want to be.

Thanks

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “Thank You”, that would suffice. – Meister Eckhart

With Love, Gratitude, and Appreciation – Everyday make a mental list of everything you have to be grateful for. It will remind you of whats important. Like being grateful for your breath, and the fact that your alive. Give Thanks for everything that happens to you,  and find the good in it all. Develop this attitude of gratitude for all things, and the result for this work will be to find pure joy. Because a grateful person is always a happy person, and being happy is the life that we all seek.

Mood – Very Good

The thing with pretending your in a good mood is that sometimes you can. – Charles de Lint

Generally these days, I’m in a very good mood. Life has been very kind to me of late, but years ago it started with me pretending to be in a good mood first.

On a daily basis we all have the opportunity to choose how we react. With our words an actions, we can escalate or de-escalate problems, make someone feel joy or sorrow, or  we can inspire versus humiliate. We actually do choose.

Our choice to feel happy, and act with our good mood, is love. And, by allowing your good mood to be so, it begins to change form. We begin to change, and we begin to feel better, and the love we share – comes back to us.
