My character is determined by my beliefs, attitudes, behaviours and actions.  It is not set in stone like some people would like others to believe, but is malleable to become what I desire it to be.  Some people may shrug their shoulders and extoll that they are who they are and thus infer that their behaviour cannot be changed, but that is simply lazy and stubborn thinking.  At the end of the day our character is all we really have and each of our actions reinforce the character that we are building, it makes sense then, to make sure that we are building the best one that we can.  My character, my choice.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.  Helen Keller
