Practice makes progress

Today while journalling I came across this question: “What bad habit can I curb?”

And my mind went immediately to trust. Or a lack thereof!

I have a bad habit of assuming that people will let me down at the first hurdle. After a number of occasions in the past where people I trusted took advantage of that trust, I’m now often slower to trust than I think I’d like.

Epictetus said, “Progress is not achieved by luck or accident, but by working on yourself daily.”

For me, that means staying the course of working on continuing to nurture healthy trust, and also remembering that if I want to help others flourish, that’s also a daily work.

For you, there may be habits you’d like to get out of, or get into, where a daily practice could come in handy, too.

After all, practice doesn’t make perfect.

Practice makes Progress.
