Quote #140: Ashley Ghose

Hi, I'm Ashley Ghose, a coach for overwhelmed working moms, Lead Assistant, and member of the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition.

A quote that grounds and inspires me is: "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." —Aristotle

The reason I find this quote so meaningful is because it reminds me that real change isn’t about grand gestures, it’s about the small, everyday actions that shape who we are becoming. It inspires me to take a pause before I act, to check in and ask: Is this aligned with the way I want to show up in the world?

This quote supports my wellbeing by encouraging gentle awareness. It helps me trust that consistency, not perfection, is what moves me toward a life that feels calm, clear, and connected to my values.

What’s one small habit you want to keep showing up for this week?
