Hi, I’m Thomas and I am the founder of Grow In Magnanimity.
Some of my favourite topics to write about are developing virtue, developing ambition in a healthy way, overcoming fears and insecurities, building confidence and striving for greatness.
I am very interested in the relationship between how we develop character and virtues and the culture we live in.
When you live in a culture that promotes healthy character building, it is still a challenge to develop yourself. But it is perhaps a little easier with the support of others and the support of society’s institutions.
However, when you live in a culture like ours that lacks good training in character and virtue, then you have to figure it out on your own. It is much harder.
My goal is to help fill what I see is an essential gap in our society, the growth and development of magnanimity.
Our culture is happy to promote prideful ambition or accept slothful mediocrity. But we don’t do a good job of teaching people how to strive for excellence and greatness in a humble way.
This website is my contribution to filling that gap.
