- So, you got a put in the time and demonstrate some strong will power so that your WILL to do the right thing becomes a DISPOSITION to do the right thing.
- He also says: “How much better to pursue a straight course and eventually reach that destination where the things that are pleasant and the things that are honorable finally become, for you, the same.”
- So, are you building some new habits? Keep your goal REALLY clear and your will REALLY strong to shape a new disposition.
