We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit. — Aristotle

We tend to define our lives by the big events: graduation, marriage, children, a big promotion, retirement. What often gets neglected are the little things we do every day, the little things that make the big events possible. As Aristotle said, it’s what we “repeatedly do” that produces excellence. When it comes to money and wealth, what do you repeatedly do?

Hard Work
Modest Living
Patience
Perseverance
Balance
Self-Awareness
Learning

I have to get organized!

:-(

Maybe that’s the “eighth” idea. Organization. You have to be organized to succeed?
