Our Character Determines Our DESTINY

Commence with Gratitude to The Ultimate Knower, The Most Benevolent;

When someone asks me for a quick advice, I offer him or her, the following, “Our Character Creates and Determines Our Destiny”.

When asked for the amplification on my statement, I borrow a complimentary quote from Theodore Roosevelt, (he is one of the people, whom I admire… The People who determined to excel and strived for the best, even in the face of adversity)

“Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.”

Then I attempt to expand by explaining what Character is. Again, I borrow the wisdom from many, and continue that it is derived from a Greek words, charaktēr, from charassein to scratch, engrave

One dictionary defined it as, “the attributes or features that make up and distinguish an individual, the one I like the most“, “the aggregate of qualities distinctive to an individual”.

I like to listen and read Mr. Michael Josephson, sometimes. He explains it further, that there are Six Pillars of the Character.

Respect

Treat others with respect; follow the Golden Rule • Be tolerant of differences • Use good manners, not bad language • Be considerate of the feelings of others • Don’t threaten, hit or hurt anyone • Deal peacefully with anger, insults and disagreements

Trustworthiness

Be honest • Do not deceive, cheat, or steal • Be reliable — do what you say you will do • Have the courage to do the right thing • Build a good reputation • Be loyal — stand by your family, friends, and country

Responsibility

Do what you are supposed to do • Persevere: keep on trying! • Always do your best • Use self-control • Be self-disciplined • Think before you act — consider the consequences • Be accountable for your choices

Fairness

Play by the rules • Take turns and share • Be open-minded; listen to others • Don’t take advantage of others • Don’t blame others carelessly

Caring

Be kind • Be compassionate and show you care • Express gratitude • Forgive others • Help people in need

Citizenship

Do your share to make your community better • Cooperate • Get involved in community affairs • Stay informed; vote • Be a good neighbor • Obey laws and rules • Respect authority • Protect the environment

Going back to the Greek origin of the word, I love how Mr. Jim Rohn explains it. He says, that Character from word Charassein, is what describe the process of the building a Character.

Have you ever seen person who is engraving? He or She is chiseling away, one stroke at a time, until the final masterpiece is created. That is how, our Character is developed one thought, one word at a time.

We are the Creator of Our Character, Chiseling Away, and One Stroke at A Time.

In conclusion, Our Character Determines (the Quality of) Our Destiny;

Our Qualities, distinctive (to us), make up of Our Character;

What is “qualities distinctive to an individual” means? That is our “Habits”;

Therefore, Our Habits Make Our Character;

Our Actions (and lack of the Actions) make our Habits;

And Our Words Create Action,

And Our Thoughts are reason and cause of Our Action.

That is why the old saying, “Think Before Your Speak”. We manifest our thoughts by speaking of them, then the Universe, takes the baton from us, starts working on the full expression of our spoken word, delivering us to our Destiny,…………… then we wonder…………… at our circumstances. And, We ask the question, why all this has occurred to us!
