Character Grows from Habit

"Character is simply, habit long enough continued."....by Plutarch

Persist in a certain practice for a couple of weeks and it becomes a habit.
Persist in it for a couple of months and it becomes hard not to do it.
Keep at it for a couple of years and it changes who we are.
Whatever the habit, good or not so good, it is a part of us--an expression of our values.
Others come to their conclusions about us through observing our habits.

My character is a composite of my habits.
I will decide carefully about:
Embracing new habits,
Breaking old ones,
And choosing those I want to maintain.
