“We are what we repeatedly do, therefore, excellence is not an act but a habit.”
Aristotle
I always think about repetition when I’m stitching. Stitching a few french knots? How about a few hundred? And what about some bullion circles? A whole cluster of them is even better!

In nature repetition is a constant and often what is most striking is in the sheer repetition.

If I love a particular stitch, I’ll stitch a few hundred and over time I will have mastered it. It’s like anything. If I want to be a kind person, then I need to practice being kind. Even when I don’t feel like it. Even when I’m in a hurry. Even when it means taking a breath, stepping back from the situation, and remembering that I’ve never regretted being kind. Never.
Repetition.
Being kind also brings you many good experiences. You come across as kind.
That’s SO true. I have lovely memories of kindness and how contagious it can be!
Good words of wisdom today and everyday. My Japanese Embroidery teachers tell us, ‘Time carries skill’. Same point.
