Virtue & the Art of Living

Today’ blog includes part 2 of the video series with Dr Sri. Today he speaks on chapter 4 & 5.  

How to Grow in Virtue: Three Keys.  

  1. Educate yourself on the virtues – and the vices that tempt us away 

  2. Much Effort – focus not on the temptations, but focus on building the virtue 

  3. Rely on God’s Grace – patient with ourselves, be okay with struggle, and ask for God’s grace
