Virtue is a necessary ingredient that fosters the journey of a man on the path to purpose. It is an entire package on its own.

On the pathway to purpose, strength is measured by virtue. It is therefore safe to say that the yardstick to determine the strength of a man is how much virtue he has and have acquired overtime.

While some virtues are inherent, some are acquired along the path. This is because virtue does not only aid in the success of the journey, it sustains a man at the destination.

Virtue does a lot in the life of a man of purpose. It shapes the character and attitude of such fellow. It prunes away the excess baggage a man is carrying. This is what is called pruning for productivity.

What is your attitude to the task ahead? How do you approach the situations that come your way? How committed are you to the course set before you? Voila! Virtue answers them all. It is the practical response to all these questions. Virtue determines how far a man goes in life.

Virtue is not just necessary on the path, it is much more necessary for the destination. Whereas the period of preparation offers virtue FOR the path, it is also acquired ON the path to and for the destination. This kind of virtue makes one to stand the test of time and last long in purpose. This comes in form of attitude and character shaping.

Attitude and character are very strong and inseparable virtues. These duo are efficient both on the path and at the destination. Sometimes, favour can carry a man to that point of purpose or destination, character and attitude are the virtues that sustain such a man at that point and possibly lead to other open doors for higher heights.

Acquire virtue at every given point of your life. Do not be carried away by the beauty of the destination that you forget the current surrounding events and what they teach. Meekness, kindness, gentleness, nobility, prudence and much more are virtues one must covet. Always remember that beauty and favour brought Vashti to the palace but character and attitude expelled her from the presence of the king. No one is untouchable but virtue serve as the necessary shield.
