The ripple effect of character

I have seen and heard the results it produces. Some say that is how they are and what they are made of. It goes a long way to either uplift or destroy.

By it, many have been hurt, relationships fractured, and opportunities lost. By it, conflicts have been resolved, communities strengthened, families reunited, and initiatives take flight.

This is character. It is not solely innate; hence, you cannot give an excuse for having a bad one.

Character is built. While it is a dynamic interplay of our environments and experiences, it is developed through the choices we make over time. Its results cannot be hidden; hence, it is in our power to choose right.

Cultivate honesty when you lack it. Be fair, tolerant, generous, and responsible.

For a little gesture can make a vast difference. Build character.
