We are what we repeatedly do
Aristotle’s quote, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit” emphasizes the significance of consistency and routine in achieving greatness. Rather than viewing excellence as a singular act or a rare occurrence, Aristotle suggests that true excellence is a result of habitual actions.
This means that by consistently practicing good habits and striving for improvement daily, we shape our character and attain excellence over time.
The quote underlines the importance of discipline, dedication, and the cumulative effect of our everyday actions in defining who we are and what we achieve. It inspires a mindset focused on persistent effort and the power of routine in personal and professional development.
