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

To live well is to approach life with the right philosophies.

Success, happiness, and a life well-lived are not secrets. There is no magic formula, hack, or trick to them. Instead, there are the timeless habits and traits that have remained true for thousands of years and will remain true forevermore.

The greatest lessons we can apply to our lives have already been figured out, and have been echoed by philosophy over and over, for ages. Why? Because there is truth to them, validity, because they work. These tools of personal power have made all the difference for great people for centuries, and can make the same difference for you.
