These four dimensions sustain and
increase our capacities and help us
discipline our mind, body and spirit. This
daily private victory is a
victory over self. Not only does the daily
Private victory stimulate growth,
but it also helps us to achieve the Public
Victory. As we achieve these
victories through renewal, we cultivate and
nurture the other six habits.
