Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue.

Character is not held up by resolve alone; it is held up by the people you sit with and the quality of what you talk about. Spend your evenings among those who cut corners and the corners start to look reasonable. Spend them among people who take things seriously and say true things plainly, and your own standard rises without any effort on your part.

Audit your regular company honestly, without deciding anyone is bad. Then arrange one conversation this week with the person who reliably makes you want to be better, and let it run longer than it needs to.
