Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Aristotle
Excellence is an art
won by training and habituation (habituation
Aristotle (/ˈærɪˌstɒtəl/;[3] Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης Aristotélēs, pronounced [aristotélɛːs]; 384–322 BC)[n 1] was an ancient Greek philosopherand scientist born in the city of Stagira, Chalkidiki, in the north of Classical Greece. Along with Plato, Aristotle is considered the "Father of Western Philosophy", which inherited almost its entire lexicon from his teachings, including problems and methods of inquiry, so influencing almost all forms of knowledge.

This is Aristotle that I am writing on, not you and not me, this is his quote!

We Are What We Repeatedly Do?
What do we do repeatedly.......what are we? What do we do repeatedly? Speak out for truth, uphold justice, or do is our minds bent and twisted and we make concessions and allow our values and integrity to just slip away until we become liars unto ourselves and I am only asking? Training us is getting us to repeatedly hate, repeatedly bash, repeatedly break down, training is repeatedly loving, forgiving, upholding and encouraging, it's what we repeatedly do and what is it that we are repeatedly doing?
Excellence then is not a state, but a habit!
Bullying on social media is done in ways we don't even recognize it for what it is any more. Nasty, hatred, anger encouraged, and spread like a virus it is ripping us apart and creating emotionless zombies! Please watch 1984, subtle mind control that is not subtle at all.
Bob Marley looks into the camera and says: all these government officials and NGO's that want to help the world, why they tell the man not to smoke the herb? Why? Cause it will make us rebel.....against what?
Think about these words, they are embedded in my mind. Why is big pharma so scared of a plant, big pharma was so afraid of one man, Mark Tyler, this young man goes on to survive the Columbine shootings, believes in Micky Mouse when he encouraged him to stand up against big pharma and then he was abandoned and his vibrant beautiful mind destroyed by the very drugs he waged war on, a silent hero. The People have recognized Tommy Robinson for standing when all good men refused to stand, when even Aristotle would have wept in shame, and he is fed daily to the people he warned the world about, because we have no doubt we are being groomed, mind control is on us, and we are fighting for our lives. Never surrender, never quit, where we go One, we go All!
God be with you always.
