Character

In the last few weeks I've met and started to get to know a man who has a talent for drawing. He is an artist. I've seen some of his work and it's pretty impressive. His favorite work is comic book heroes and villains. He does great character work.

But the reality is that those characters aren't real. They are fiction. People might get lost in their stories, but it's all make believe. It saddens me to watch people waste lots of their time on fiction and make believe. I've seen it over and over again and it's never pretty to watch. I bet you know what I mean.

John Maxwell says, "Character is not about intelligence. It is about making right choices."

Character is not about intelligence. It is about making right choices.
Character is not about intelligence. It is about making Right CHOICES.
Character is not about intelligence. It is about making RIGHT CHOICES.

I hope and you pray you will be men and women of character. Your marriage needs you to be a person of character. Your children need you to be a person of character. Your grandchildren need you to be people of character. You need to teach people to be people of character. It will not happen by accident.

Make your kids work. It will make them responsible people of character.
Clean up your messes. It's about character.
Take care of your stuff. It's about character.
Lead them well. It's about character.
