Today begins the season of Advent in the Catholic Church. It is a
time of waiting and preparation for Christmas. Advent begins four
Sundays prior to Chistmas and ends on Christmas Day. Advent lasts for a
little over four weeks.
As a warm up for the Lenten Challenge, I would like to issue the Advent Challenge.
Beginning
today and through Christmas, in spite of the business and general
insanity of the season, find a way to train every day. Do what you have
to; move heaven and earth, but train every day. Even if it's just a
little. No excuses.
These challenges are a form of Shuugyou Renshuu, or "Austere Training." There is a very good article about Shuugyou Renshuu right here.
I plan on tracking my progress each day on Lift, where I've created an "Advent Challenge" habit.
Won't you join me?

We all do.
Water reaches its goal by flowing continuously. The superior man follows its example; he is concerned that goodness should be an established attribute of character.... Everything depends on consistency, for it is only through repetition that the pupil makes the material his own.

It is because of the pending obligations and appointments that I think this is relevant.
It is an idea whose time has come. ...
