Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
Modern personality theory suggests that personality begins with inborn temperament. Over time, you develop your character as you engage in everyday experiences, and that’s how your personality evolves. The character represents your ethical, moral, and social attitudes and beliefs.
Character is a choice and is reflected in how you respond to different circumstances. Character and virtues will be reflected in how you think, feel, and behave. Character will be reflected in how you treat and respect others.
Developing your character is not always easy because, most of the time, it requires you to go for the long, slow, and more difficult path. Developing your character requires intentionality, acknowledging that you are not perfect, nonetheless overcoming your faults, and having the strength to improve yourself.
You will see the result not by the measure of success but in your pursuit of good.
