Virtues
Virtues are character strengths that help us act in a good way and are essential for individuals and societies to thrive.
A virtue is a trait, or quality, that is considered morally good. It is the habit, or disposition, to act, think and feel in certain ways, and over time, the practice of virtue can become natural, easy and delightful.
Cultivating virtues leads people to develop confidence and a more meaningful life.
Virtue is not something innately ingrained when we are born, but rather, something we practice and improve on. Growing in virtue means forming a new habit and continuing that habit over time.
Virtues, at their core, are meant to be actions of love. Virtuous habits are not meant to be positive actions in and of themselves, or a means to get something we want, but rather each virtue should be considered an “act of love” or a gift of self.
When we intentionally form virtuous habits, we open ourselves to new opportunities and a truer version of who we were created to be.
The easiest way to get started is to pick one virtue you want to improve upon and set a goal to change your behavior in regard to that virtue over a period of time.
