||||
Who are You?When you have walked a long way out from some very difficult situations in your life, and feel like you still have so far to go—it is ok to look back for a bit. If you take a moment to reflect on how far you have come, and the obstacles that you have surpassed you will realize that you are stronger, more capable, and more resilient than you think. Character is not something that happens over night. It is not an exam that you can study for it takes time and effort to develop. Good character is doing the right thing—despite everything else in your life that seems wrong. So take a moment to look back at all that you have accomplished, and then realize that the mountain ahead is really just one step after another—and you will get to the top and where ever else you want to go.

Character that lasts a LifetimeThe stability of our lives depends on character. It is character not passion, that keeps marriages together long enough to do the work of raising children into mature, responsible, productive citizens. In this imperfect world, it is character that enables people to survive, to endure, and to transcend misfortunes." Psychiatrist Frank Pittman Definition of Character... Michele Borba in Building Moral IntelligenceCharacter is defined in terms of seven core values: empathy, conscience, self-control, respect, kindness, tolerance, and fairness. Virtues such as these are objectively good human qualities, necessary for all human beings everywhere. You reap what you sow...Sow a thought and you reap an act. Sow an act and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny. Charles Reade
