"We are what we repeatedly do." Aristotle

Such understanding, and this came from the 300 BC time frame. Man has advanced in many ways over the years, yet, in many ways still keeps the basics... complex.

So...... what is it you're repeatedly doing???
Seriously, stop what you're doing right now and write down the top five things you repeatedly do. I don't mean get dressed, comb my hair kind of things. I mean the things in your life that are NOT working in your favor. I mean the nitty gritty. Are you repeatedly hitting the snooze button and sleeping in, running late daily? Are you repeatedly having a 'cheat', because it's 'just a couple bites'? Are you silently bombarding yourself with negative self-talk? 

Now, what are five things you repeatedly do that's working in your favor? Exercising daily? Educating yourself? Eating healthy? Managing stress in a healthful way? Enjoying time with the people you love?

We are surely what we repeatedly do. We are also not what we eat, rather we are what we assimilate. I believe life is much the same way. Life is what we assimilate from our experiences. 

I'm quite certain if Aristotle where writing this, he'd simply say, "If what you're doing isn't working, change it." Yep, that simple. I challenge you to change whatever it is that's not working for you. Create something new and useful for yourself. Health!
