“Some day, in the years to come, you will be wrestling with the great temptation, or trembling under the great sorrow of your life. But the real struggle is here, now… Now it is being decided whether, in the day of your supreme sorrow or temptation, you shall miserably fail or gloriously conquer.
Character cannot be made except by steady, long continued process.”
~ Phillips Brooks
Character and AreteÌ are incredibly closely tied to one another.
You want character?
Live with Areté. (Again, it means “virtue” or “excellence” directly translated but has the deeper meaning of striving to live at your highest potential moment to moment to moment.)
Live with Areté. Build your character.
And gloriously conquer all the challenges in your path to your own actualization.
