Motivational Power Quote
Our Character is Formed in the Torrents of Life
“A talent is formed in stillness,
a character in the world’s torrent.”
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe 1749 - 1831, German artist, writer
As I see it . . . . . . .
Our character is formed in the torrents of life
When we are facing great pressure our true self comes to the surface. In those moments our true character is revealed.
In very stressful times people will find the inner strength to overcome their challenges and their true character comes to the surface. When you talk to them about the events and how they handle the situation most will tell you that they wasn’t going to allow the condition overwhelm them and keep them from achieving their goals.
In that moment their character came to the surface and they successfully pushed through the challenges.
Our character can be revealed when we are working with a very challenging customer. Their behavior moves from challenging to being flat out rude and we’re ready to lose it and explode but we remain calm and in that calmness we naturalize the customer’s behavior.
The customer caused a very stressful situation that could have accelerated and gotten out of control. Our character came to the surface and we controlled our emotions and took control of the situation.
Our character is formed in the torrents of life. In stressful times remain in control of your emotions and your character will come to the surface.
