Three Virtues

The first virtue I chose to improve on is to simply be more patient, which now that I think about won’t be as simple as it sounds. What I mean is that I want to improve how I respond to obstacles and to not just give up in the first sign of work, but be able to sit down and think it through and eventually succeed.The reason I chose this virtue to focus on is basically because its just something that im severely lacking for everything except not doing work. Surprisingly...not really. As for my plan for my plan on improving it’s mostly just focusing on the little things and just building it up bit by bit till i can last more than five minutes before taking a break and watching YouTube for the next hour. This can apply to most things like doing homework,doing homework,and of course, doing homework.
For my second virtue it’s going to be to try being more proactive. This means to do things ahead of time instead of just panicking and crying in the corner while I try to figure out how to do six classes worth of homework for the next day which I find happens much more often than you would think, at least for me I guess. The reason I chose this virtue is because it’s one of those traits you can use for almost every situation and would help especially when it comes to school and eventually a job. If someone were especially proactive with their responsibilities they would always be on top of their work and would become a great at whatever they pursue to do. My plan for improving in this aspect is for starters is to try to do my homework ahead of time and then build up to harder things later on.
So for for my third and last virtue I want to improve is honesty. When I talk about honesty I don’t just mean saying the truth to other(even if it’s still very important) but it also means being honest with yourself. Being honest with yourself means staying true to what you believe and to stand up for yourself. This can mean doing simple tasks like not lying to yourself saying you have plenty of time of time to do your homework tomorrow, to being honest with your feeling of another person. The plan for improving this trait is to just constantly practice being honest and try to second guess yourself and ask “is what i'm saying true to what I feel?”
