People are like icebergs, there's much to it than the eyes sees. There are lots of successful people that we know of, that has made it to the limelight, but the ones who have neglected to develop strong character rarely stay there long. Because people cannot climb beyond the limitations of their character.
No one can expect to succeed without strong character below the surface to protect his talent and sustain him during difficult times.
Character holds us steady, no matter how rough the storm becomes.
The choice to develop a strong character may not be the most important one to make the most of your life/career. But it is certainly the most important to make sure you don't make the least of your life/career.
The impact of character cannot be underestimated by anyone. Roger Benson asserted that "A character standard is far more important than even a gold standard". The success of all economic systems is still dependent upon both righteous leaders and righteous people.
Character creates a foundation upon which the structure of your life and carrier can build. If there are cracks in that foundation, you cannot build much, but only a little. That's the reason why you must first develop within before you can achieve much without. But once you build strong character, it does more than provide a platform for your personal success and the maximization of your entire life. It also impact others and allows you build with them. It does that through what it communicates to people.
START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE is a must read for all! !
I have observed that the people with the weakest character tend to place the blame on their circumstances. They often claim that poor upbringing, financial difficulties, the unkindness of others, or other circumstances have made them victims.
The fact remains that we must face many things in life outside our control. But while your circumstances are beyond your control, your character is not.
Your character is always your choice, developing your character is your sole responsibility, therefore take control of it..
Drop your comments let's us know what you think about developing strong character..
This is the gist with ZOEY..
this is so true! I'm working on this at the moment, after too long of feeling like a victim to my past and circumstances. I think it's difficult to take that first step to build your character, but when you do it feels amazing to be more in control of yourself and your life!

DeleteDon't relent, keep pushing and keep conquering..
I’ve always said I’m not a product of my environment , in fact I take everything I went through growing up as a lesson and a reason to always remain strong with faces with conflicts. Great post!

ReplyDeleteThat is the best thing you did, take up the lessons from what you are going through and build strong character around it..
