Wikipedia says that character, from the Greek word “χαρακτήρας”, was a term originally used for a mark impressed upon a coin. A more modern definition is known as the sum of all the attributes, such as integrity, courage, fortitude, honesty, and loyalty, in a person.
Personally, I say that character is the sum of all your experiences and thoughts. Character is perhaps the most important element that makes up an individual, as it defines who a person is and how they react to the world around them. At it’s base, character is easy to understand, but very difficult to completely define. It is even more difficult improving your character.
Every decision you make either improves or degrades your character. Why do we care? Because society will break down and the way of life that we enjoy to will fall apart if all of us do not promote and encourage good character. Emerson said, “Men of character are the conscience of the society in which they live.” Our conscience needs improving. Improvement that must begin with each us.
To strengthen one’s character requires dedication, effort and knowledge. Remember, you don’t have to try to improve every aspect of character every day. Pick one and work on it. Here is a list of traits you can think about. Pick one that you think needs improvement and get to it.
Remember that to strengthen your character, you will work hard. This requires discipline, self-control and effort. Find someone to help you. Someone that you trust. Much like a blacksmith shaping metal, forging character requires heat and hard work.
