Habit: n. – A shackle for the free.
We have all (I am pretty sure) – made mistakes. Some of them big ones.
Than … OUR ROUTINE !
100:1.3 (1094.5) … Real educational growth is indicated by enhancement of ideals, increased appreciation of values, new meanings of values, and augmented loyalty to supreme values.
100:1.4 (1094.6) Children are permanently impressed only by the loyalties of their adult associates; precept or even example is not lastingly influential. Loyal persons are growing persons, and growth is an impressive and inspiring reality. Live loyally today—grow—and tomorrow will attend to itself.
It’s by Jon & Missy Butcher … who have been practicing their (carefully chosen … daily, weekly, and yearly) habits now for three decades.
They do physical exercise daily. Maybe only half an hour (or even ten minutes) … but they do it EVERY DAY.
To support their love relationship (with each other) they do a daily Connection Ritual. One hour – walking together, holding hands … and sharing with each other about their respective days.
And – once a week – they have an (overnight) date … no matter what, and no matter where they are in the world.
Unavoidably … we’re going to have habits. We should choose the best ones we can come up with.
These virtues are formed in man by his doing the actions.
…we are what we repeatedly do.
