We are what we repeatedly do...

...Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. - Aristotle

I love inspirational quotes.  I feel good when I stumble across one that reaches out to me and pulls at my heart-strings or urges me to think more about worldly affairs, at least for a few seconds.

Then it's back to what I was doing originally, which is what led me to this whisper of inspiration by Aristotle in the first place.  Cruising the web without a real destination.

I begin by visiting my usual haunts, starting with the gossip pages, (TMZ.com - one of these days you're going to get me fired!  Please tone down your site).  If I've putzed around enough and feeling a bit guilty for not working on what I should be, then I go to news.google.com, because that's an intelligent move, right?  Really pinched for validation, then Daily Beast it is.  I always feel smarter for checking out news from across the world.

For a local spin I cruise on over to my local hometown news sites to see where the local drug deals are going down, the domestic disputes, and which public official is once again in hot water.  After that, I tap my fingers on the keyboard, where else can I poke around for absolutely nothing at all.  I know!  Ancestry.com!  Which then leads me to looking up grave sites for long-departed relatives.

So, if indeed we are what we repeatedly do, then I have come to the conclusion that I will not be a writer until I stop being the procrastinator.
