You're Good But Not Virtuous (Here's Why That Matters)
from The Forge with Tomas Mones-Cazon · host The Forge with Tomas Mones-Cazon
My last video about sitting in the EXACT TIPPING POINT of continence to virtue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGkY5gkh0qM&list=PLNiMDAMs3mP4hu5KJE9rnUm7h7kLLOVPk&index=2Most people stay trapped in a cycle of trying hard, burning out, and starting over. You build good habits, you do the right things, you push yourself through the grind, but somehow you end up back where you started. The problem isn't your effort. It's that you don't understand the difference between being good and being virtuous. This video breaks down Aristotle's framework for virtue and why willpower alone will never get you to where you need to be. There's a point where pushing stops working and virtue starts pulling you forward. Most people never cross that line.In this video I cover:-the four types of people and where you actually are-why good people stay stuck in the improvement cycle-the critical difference between doing good and desiring good-why taking breaks before reaching virtue resets all your progress-how virtue pulls you forward instead of willpower pushing you-the real timeline for becoming virtuous (longer than you think)My work:https://linktr.ee/tomas.monesFit for the Kingdom (FFTK):http://fitforthekingdom.com.au/#virtue #habits #aristotle #character #spiritual
