our action we are hopefully grown in zurich's alacrity we've set goals and we're pursuing them we make resolutions and we have a plan about how to achieve them and now we're up to nikeis and we're trying to purge and rid from ourselves to move from the area as we've described from the battleground to conquered territory conquered territory needs to be defended but it's not a battleground it's not a place where there's still a daily fight so whether it's our eating or profanity or punctuality whether it's our envy or our anger and most recently honor we're identifying all these attributes and qualities where we're trying to grow and we're trying to improve ourselves to live our best selves imagine what life would look like if you didn't get angry and you weren't filled with envy and you didn't grow frustrated imagine what life would look like if you didn't pursue honor imagine how enriched your relationships would be imagine how magnificent life would be if you went to sleep every night and when you rest your head on your pillow you feel a sense of accomplishment a sense of pride a sense of having lived life with enthusiasm and alacrity and going to pursue exactly who we are meant to be we can that's the media of nikias is the capacity to try to grow in these areas the capacity to purge from ourselves the temptation to be otherwise it's why we're here rafitner whose your site is around now the great review says the truth of the matter is that the power of change is the greatest innovation after the wonder of the creation of heaven and earth after the magnificent sense that god created the world heaven and earth
