I commit to higher expressions of speech, thought, and action.
Aristotle
taught, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act,
but a habit.” To be the best expression of the Christ that I can be, I
revisit my behaviors and routines. Where needed, I replace unhealthy
habits with life-affirming ones. If I find that I regularly
complain, I make a concerted effort to express gratitude. If I have
lapsed into mindless routines, such as snacking or binge-watching
television, I insert a new activity into that same time slot, such as
walking, reading, praying, or meditating. As I consciously replace
ineffective habits with more constructive ones, I feel happier, more
peaceful, and energetic—more like my true self—each day.
Put these things into practice, devote yourself to them, so that all may see your progress.—1 Timothy 4:15
