Recently, I came across a story about Ben Franklin in the Reader's Digest recently and read about how he desired to be a more virtuous man by challenging himself to improve in 13 key areas. The author, Cameron Gunn, gave it a try. His story was humorous and inspiring. I thought, that would be a great BABYSteps for Life challenge for us. So I hope you are up for it!
The 13 Virtues are:
-
Temperance
-
Silence
-
Order
-
Resolution
-
Frugality
-
Industry
-
Sincerity
-
Justice
-
Moderation
-
Cleanliness
-
Tranquility
-
Chastity
-
Humility
Every two weeks, we will partake on a new challenge. Check here for definitions: BABYSteps and to comment on your progress. The goal is to keep track of the days where we have been successful and those in which we have been...well, not so successful.
Take the challenge with me and together let's work on moderation in all areas of our life. Good luck and I hope to hear from you soon.
