It's often said that it takes 30 days to form a habit. We're going to put that to the test. Each month for the next year Glenn will challenge himself and his audience to become better citizens and human beings one small step at a time. Each challenge will be posted here and we encourage everyone to keep a running journal of their experiences. Write down everything—and review it often. You'll be amazed to see how fast things that once seemed difficult to you are now almost routine.
Whether you take this Challenge alone, or do it with a friend or family member, we want to hear what you’re experiencing. Tell us about your successes and failures, the things that came easy and those that you still struggle with. And remember, this is a challenge, not a contest. We aren't keeping score and there will be no one to watch over to you to make sure you honor your promises. But we can promise that those who practice the first virtue (diligence) and stick with this for a year will be changed forever. This is a support group like never before and, if we are successful, we very well may just have the next George Washington in our midst.
Start the Challenge by reviewing this basic framework that includes items from Washington, Franklin and Glenn. Then, return to the home page, read the description of the current month's virtue and begin to think about the specific ways in which you can challenge yourself and your family to the goals you set.
