What Are the Virtues?

Picture
The virtues are habits that develop the good within you.
Simple enough, but their effects are profound:
They fulfill your potential as a person.

​Why?
​ 

Because they take two of God's greatest gifts to you---your reason and your will---
and use them 
in a generous, non-self-centered way.
​
​                       The result is a you that soars, stands out and is sought out.

Virtues in action
Before he founded Patagonia, Yvon Chouinard manufactured and sold
pitons--metal spikes that are hammered into rocks while rock climbing. He was
the biggest piton seller in the US, and he supported his family by selling pitons.
As rock climbing became more popular, Chouinard became aware that piton
use was damaging and disfiguring rock faces. To Chouinard that wasn't right.
​He promptly stopped selling pitons--he walked away from his main source of income to do what was right.
That is the virtue of
Courage being used.
