Life is not a neat little package with a pretty bow on top.
As you start to grow in awareness you discover your personality (who you are, who you want to be) and directing your path toward that goal. Along that path you will encounter obstacles and challenges.
We don't know exactly what these problems will be until we come face to face with them.
Character is built by rising up to these challenges. The mere fact that you fall down once or a couple hundred times in your attempts to deal with them is no failure but a commendable sign of the fortitude inside you (character).
Are kids being taught in school that character is built by facing a problem rather than hiding from it?
Are kids being taught in school that it's not a sign of weakness to ask for help?
Are kids being taught in school that going without (things) is more important than having everything they want?
*A poor family with a spiritual base is going to make it through hard times much easier than a rich family who has everything.
Moral character is a belief in something higher than yourself.
Moral character is going out of your way, even though you might be the one hurting, to help someone else.
Moral character is having the guts to say, "I'm sorry."
Moral character is setting an example for others by the way you act and treat others.
Moral character is admitting you were wrong and someone else was right.
Moral character is tending to the duties of your family as a parent.
Moral character is defending the defenseless.
Moral character is standing up for what you believe in.
Moral character is taking care of this planet and all its life forms.
Moral character is finding a peaceful solution to a problem rather than a violent one.
Moral character is respecting others.
Moral character is letting someone else express his or her opinion while you patiently wait to tell your side.
Moral character is keeping yourself healthy.
Moral character is doing the right thing.
Moral character is believing in yourself.
