"...Most breaks in our integrity are small in scale and go unnoticed. They often come when we are too busy to pay attention. [...] It is time to remind ourselves that today's thoughts and actions become our legacy. When we forget this or lie to ourselves thinking our actions do not matter, we have permission to act as momentary buffoons. We let ourselves break, just this once, from our values. We cheat, just this once. We lie, just this once. We put off the hard task, just this once. We skip the workout, just this week. We take the drink, just one more. And soon we find that each of these little breaks in our will leads to another, and then to a lifetime of compromise and regret. [...] Let us not forget that our actions form, piece by piece, a structure that is either upright or crooked. [...] When the next temptation comes to be weak and heartless -- and it will come -- we will not take it. [...] By refusing to bend on our values, WE become unbreakable -- solid and stable, courageous and certain, men and women of valor, worth, and character. Let us build a life we are proud of."
--Brendon Burchard, The Motivation Manifesto, pp. 168-169
