3 Steps to Building Character
Category: Character
The purpose of this tool is to help you
build a strong character which is vitally important to your success in life. A strong character allows you to do what is right
in tough situations. Character helps us in many areas of our lives, not only with our long-term goals, but with the daily
challenges that face us as we journey through life. Most people give in under pressure and go against what they know is right.
By building your character, you can stand strong no matter what obstacles come your way.
"Talent develops in quiet
alone; character is sharpened in the torrent of the world." What was Goethe, the great German writer and scientist of the
19th century referring to when he made that quotation? Goethe was talking about the trials we face daily which test our mettle
and by life’s end, determine the sum total of our character. The character we bring to our challenges will ultimately
determine how we surmount obstacles in our path.
Building and supporting a strong character is a continual process
of development. You have the talent within you to develop your character which is required for succeeding in the modern world.
Here
are three steps you can take right now to build your character:
1. Know your values. Ask yourself, "What do I stand
for?"
2. Develop self-control. Develop your personal boundaries and respect them.
3. Use good judgment. You
have an internal sense of whether a situation is right or wrong for you. Follow your positive instincts for a positive outcome.
