“GALS”, as you leap through life, there are many roads to choose from. Always follow your heart and take the high road.
Your Character is a combination of Core Values. Those Core Values consist of responsibility, ethics, trustworthiness, integrity, fairness, value, teamwork, passion, honesty, courage, citizenship, excellence, diversity, caring, trust, service, empathy, diligence, and respect.
Character is the way you really are. It’s the way you act even when no one is looking. Good people do good deeds not for show, not for credit or adulation, but just as an expression of their true self. These are the people who we say have good Character.
Most people say they want to be good. But developing a good Character takes more than words. Good people are people of action --- they take care of themselves and others. The can be depended on to do the right thing, even when the right thing is the hard thing to do. One of the things they do is behave responsibly.
The Six C’s of Character defined by Michael Josephson, says “the best road to a better life is to be a better person, and all of us can be better.”
