HOW IMPORTANT IS CHARACTER?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with people first...then business Ran Right Realty 636943 licensed to thrill

How important is breathing? The beating of your heart? The ability to get up and go? Character missing on any human being is not a pretty sight to behold or experience. If we were to learn one thing in this brief journey here on earth, let it be on how to live correctly and not just exist but be an example of something higher at work. Character is that highness

STOP THIS LEAK

When someone is missing virtue (s), it is noticeable and obvious. Why? Because mankind is complex in nature but in action, a simple, living example of greatness and achievement that came about by purpose and intention. Character is the higher form within that drives it all. Lack of character? What leakage!

NICE OUTFIT

You can be driven by greed, fear, lusts of all kinds, wealth, power and fame but they do not leave or give out a testimony of harmony, purpose and example that is self-evident, everlasting or assured of itself while out and about. The inner of every person must be worn on the outer as a clothing. Are you dressed up, down, or ragged? The clothes tell the inner story of the clothes wearer

ACHIEVE THIS

Transparency in all things is a release and a worthy achievement to attain while coming to an awareness and maturity of who you are and why you are here. Others shouldn't have to figure you out but know who you are and what you stand for or against if anything. Becoming carefree is priceless

CHARACTER "CLASS"

It should be taught in schools, made a first requirement in all things and be a high standard that never dips or compromises but instead, sharpens and maintains drawing others into a state of harmony and consistency based on no hidden agendas. What you see is what it is. Share the best not the least

CHARACTER DRIVEN

What I am speaking about is beyond words and testifies of itself by itself in a wordless way. It is known without effort and when experienced, is at work having no on or off switch but a state of being where you are or are not. When one practices and then masters the virtues, they do the work while the person rests easy. This is called being character driven

TURN IT ON...TURN IT UP

The ability to activate our standard and practice of this subject "character" is within us all and ready to be used on a instant notice or summoning. Doing the right thing is character in action. The pay-off to the practitioner is priceless while everyone else involved or observing gets a value from it too

CANNOT BE PURCHASED

Character looks different on people because it is the unique and distinctive quality of that persons morals at work. We all have character, but it is in different stages, usages & applications as it develops within that person. Make no mistake; it can be turned on or off. Used or ignored. Haved or discarded

MADE IN THIS IMAGE

Just as a blacksmith forges a bar of iron into a specific use or purpose, so it is with developing character. As one takes a stand for what is right, true, decent, fair and honest, the SOUL is being forged with that identity becoming stronger with use and devotion toward the practice. You become what you believe

THANK GOD

Take a moment to consider the character-maker, the one who created not only this dynamic but a superior creature (mankind) that can receive it, develop it and then send it back proving that the gift-giver was loved, coveted and wanted. Use this and you become a messenger of the good & the great

So glad to see this thoughtful post featured on Kathy's list. It's a winner. It seems that the emotional or difficult times are when we see a person's true character emerge. Sometimes it confirms what we already knew or suspected, and other times we are surprised, and perhaps disappointed.

The thing about character and integrity, which are intimately inter-related, is that they are one of the few things in life that no one willl ever be able to take away from you. It is how you are brought up and how you use your personality to make a difference in others life.  Very well said.

"The clothes tell the inner story": I had a friend who always wore the latest in Paris fashions bought on her last trip there. You would think it would give her "panache", but all it did was cloak a very insecure personality. Knowing this and what some of her not so stellar "virtues" were, I stayed her friend for many years until one day she turned on me. Yes, clothes can say a lot about the person. My clothes? I try to be sensitive to what others are wearing depending on the venue, but outside of that, I need to be comfortable in them!

I love coffee & real estate. I am out of coffee!

What a great post Kathy Streib featured.

One thing that comes to mind is the end of school year achivements and awards we celebrated. While I am happy for my children as related to the hard work they put into their school year - high grades they achieved, athletic achievements - it did not compare, not even close, to when each of their teachers honored their leadership, work ethic and behavior with character related awards.

While I wish for their mind and their body to be healthy, it is their soul that matters most. Your post will be on their pillows in a minute...

Although I think "character" is oftentimes something you have ... or not, I personally thank my parents for instilling in me what might have been missing.  As my wife used to say to me when in a teaching moment for our boys ... "Mundty see ... Mundty do".  I was extremely lucky to have the parents I did ... as that's exactly how I learned much of my "character" .  Hopefully I passed something I learned on to my boys ...
