VIR-III-0002
“I'm going through a divorce and I feel like a failure.”
A marriage ending doesn't define your character — how you conduct yourself through it does. You can still be honest. You can still be fair. You can still be the kind of person who does right by others even when everything is painful and broken. That's what virtue looks like in the dark.
Your Practice
Write down three ways you can conduct yourself with integrity through this process — things you can control, like how you speak about the other person, how you honor your commitments to any children involved, and how you treat your own word. Hold yourself to those three things.
The Architects
“Whatever any one does or says, I must be good.”
