Practice Shapes Identity
Repeated practice alters brain function and structure, moving from broader brain areas to increasingly specialized regions as skills become automatic. This neurological transformation solidifies learned behaviors, making them integral to one’s identity. Consequently, what one practices significantly influences moral character; practicing deception leads to unreliability, which can culminate in personal or relational crises. In critical life situations, the sole tool one can depend on is a well-developed moral conscience, underscoring the importance of cultivating virtue through practice.
