"Character is simply habit long continued"

Plutarch's quote recommends that character is formed by the practices we develop with time. Our character is the result of our duplicated actions and habits. It is the sum of our habits, both good and bad, that shape our character. We can choose to develop habits that are advantageous and cause a strong character, or we can pick to establish routines that are damaging and lead to a weak character. The longer we continue a particular habit, the more it ends up being a part of our character. For that reason, it is very important to be mindful of the routines we establish and to make certain they are ones that will lead to a strong character. By making mindful choices to establish good routines, we can ensure that our character is one that we can be happy with.
