CHARACTER...SELF-EVALUATION

This topic brings to mind an age-old saying; "Paying it forward". As with most quotes or articles I come across daily, I spare a moment to internalize it, so let's also take a moment to "externalize" this shall we? One can have plenty in nothing and nothing in abundance, it all boils down to the happiness that comes with a sense of fulfillment.

It is without emphasis to say that one's character can either make or break you, it sounds pretty simple but it isn't so majority of the time or how else can you explain self-sabotage and why we have more evil than good...haven't the "beautiful ones" been born? Striving to be a better person is a daily struggle that most can not be bothered to embark on...sad but true. Many of us just want to sunbathe on the Riviera while all our dreams and aspirations fall into our tanned laps without lifting a finger...dream on (side note: you can thank me later for the holiday tip, its the season anyway *wink*). If you don't invest in yourself then you really shouldn't expect anyone else to, all you need is to have your good outweigh your bad and work on your self daily...how hard can that be. It is totally normal to take a few steps backward every now and then, but pay that no mind you will make up for that if you keep at it.

Ever had one of those weird encounters where you find yourself in a difficult situation with no hope in sight, only for a helper to show up out of the blues and reciprocate an act of goodwill or just merely on the fact that you "Paid it forward", it sounds surreal but that can be a life-saver. On the reverse side, ever been so close to a breakthrough only to have a bad reputation set everything crumbling, sounds very devastating and it truly is! Lol. There really isn't an almighty formula on how best to live your life (at least am not aware lol) but how to be a better person and positively impact those around is the least you could do.

Long story short guys, the world can do with more of the "good guys" than not and making that list should be a daily effort by all, to that effect I will leave us (myself included :D) with this awesome quote from one of my fave icons: "Watch your thoughts they become words, watch your words they become actions, watch your actions they become habits, watch your habits they become your CHARACTER, watch your CHARACTER for it becomes your destiny!- Margaret Thatcher.

Happy holidays folks.
