Character Building

"Character is who you are when no one is looking"

By Mike Smith

Congratulations on your interest in developing your understanding of character and its influence in your life. The words listed to the right are offered as a starting-point in your studies. It has been said that before you can "do," you must first "be." Character may well be the single most important facet of anyone's success. It is developed daily. Why not take an active role in how yours is developed? Many choose to select a different word each month and to focus their studies on that word and its meaning. I recommend selecting a word, writing out your definition without any outside help. When you have established your thoughts on the subject, look the word up in a good dictionary to determine the most accepted definition. Compare the two and reestablish your ideas on the subject.

By writing the word and its definition in one of the spaces at the top of your DifferenceMaker calendar, you will be focusing your attention on the word and definition each time you open to that page. That will help you better internalize the meaning and make the word more powerful in your life. That will make the difference!
