Matthew Kelly's spiritual habits

From Resisting Happiness:
  • Believe: Have faith that holiness is possible, and everything you do every day leads you closer to or further from the-very-best-version-of-yourself and the holy life God wants for you.
  • Ten minutes a day: Create a daily habit of prayer.
  • Hour by hour: Offer every hour of your life to God as prayer, especially your work.
  • Free your mind: Spend time reading the Bible and other spiritual books.
  • Serve powerfully: Get outside yourself by finding ways to make a difference in the lives of others.
  • Mass: Attend daily Mass once or twice during the week to develop a deeper love for the faith.
  • Fasting: Deny yourself in small ways many times a day so that God can fill you with spiritual strength.
  • Reconciliation: Confess your sins regularly and open yourself up to spiritual coaching.
We're reading this book at my church for book club. Chapter 26 (on delaying gratification) has my name written ALL over it.
