“This was the morning I realized that failure is not the enemy of formation; it is the liturgy of formation. How we deal with failure says volumes about who we really believe we are. Who we really believe God is. When we trip on failure, do we fall into ourselves? Or do we fall into grace?”
― Justin Whitmel Earley, The Common Rule: Habits of Purpose for an Age of Distraction

“when a habit is formed, the brain stops fully participating in decision making. The patterns we have unfold automatically.”
