If you value something, you will practice getting better at it.
If you say you value something, but you don't practice, you don't value it. It's just an ideal.
If you say you'd like to have or be or see or embody something but you don't work to make it happen, you don't value it. It's just an ideal.
It'd be ideal if I was a good cook. But I don't value it enough to practice cooking. So I eat mediocre food at home and I spend way too much money on takeout.
It'd be ideal if I was more handy. But I don't value it enough to practice trying to fix stuff at home. So that light fixture stays burned out and the hardwood floor stays unfinished.
Conversely, I do value being a good parent. I value modeling curiosity and integrity and empathy and respect – traits I want my kids to have too. I practice being a good parent every day.
I value being a good musician. I play guitar every day.
I value reading. I read at least an hour every day.
I value equanimity. I meditate for twenty minutes every day.
I value antiracism. I read and listen and engage and interact with people and content and communities every day that help me learn and grow and practice how to be antiracist.
I value antiracism, so I practice being an antiracist.
If I didn't, it'd just be an ideal.
