For you to come this far in this virtues series, it means there is a quest, a desire, a yearning inside of you to fulfil purpose in life. As we wrap up this series, I urge you to always review and practice these nuggets till they become habits. Happy reading.

1. Orient yourself to the mean, not the extremes: This is a principle first discussed by Aristotle. Too much of a good thing can turn into something bad. Virtue can often be found in the middle ground, between two extremes of a characteristic. For example, take self love. An extreme excess of this principle will result in narcissism (excessive love of oneself) but an extreme deficiency will produce low self esteem. You need to love and respect yourself to show love and respect to others, but you need to also love yourself in moderation so that you do not get carried away. 
   
2. Commit yourself to a virtuous life: If you really want to be a virtuous person, you need to prepare yourself for a lifetime commitment. A virtuous life is not an act you put on for a few days. True virtue is a lifestyle. 
   
3. Practice virtue till it becomes a habit: You can commit yourself to a virtuous life without becoming a perfectly virtuous person overnight. The best way to create virtue in yourself is to practice virtuous behaviours so often that they become new habits. Do not be discouraged by past mistake or mistakes you make along the way. Ultimately, if you practice principles of virtues long enough, they will become habits and characteristics of your overall person.
