CREATING A GOOD CHARACTER



Start building today, the man you will be tomorrow. (Abel Desestress)


The development of our character is a cornerstone in our own development as human beings. Much has been talked about the direct relationship between strength of character and leadership. Anyone who wants to develop to the most their leadership qualities, will always have to work primarily on improving their character. Thus, we see three relevant ideas that I wish to highlight in relation to one’s character:

1.-Character is shown by the things you do. Speaking is always easy, but the true character is not shown by speaking, but through our actions. All famous persons have forged their character so that they are always facts and their actions that speak for them. They do not lose time with empty words and beautiful speeches. Your power lies in your strength of purpose and continued action.

2.-We create our character every time we make a decision. Many things in our lives are given to us: The place where we are born, our parents, the environment in our childhood ... But it does not happen that way with a person’s character. It is not something we are born with. We have the ability to build it daily based on our decisions and our ability to succeed. At the very moment you begin building your character your conscience takes form, and you have the ability to create your character to your liking, to enhance all the best in you.

3.-The limits of your leadership skills are actually in your character. No leader or great director will ever rise above their own character. We constantly see examples of "fake" leaders who at the first sign of problems collapse as puppets. They had a facade, but lacked the basics: they did not use their character to achieve the rightful strengthening that is the foundation of true leaders.We encourage you to give the necessary attention to forge a character with real strength. In that way you will achieve a solid foundation to face any challenge that presents itself in your path.
With Love,
