Character Growth Determines Personal Growth

LEARN IT

We are human BEINGS not human DOINGS! Be aware of ambition without guidance. Your character is your guidance system – keep close check on your character. 99% of leadership failures are failures of character.

HONESTY is the top trait that is universally acknowledged and accepted!

LIVE IT

Focus on being better on the inside than on the outside – Character matters!

  • The inside influences the outside
  • Inside victories precede outside victories
  • Out inside development is totally within our control
  • I will follow the Golden Rule – People Matter
  • I will only teach what I believe – Passion Matters
  • I will value humility above all virtues – Perspective Matters
  • I will strive to finish well – Faithfulness Matters

The old adage of life says; He was born mud but died marble! How do you live this truth out?

LEAD IT

Assess where you have placed most of your learning energy up to this point in life. Is more INSIDE or OUTSIDE?

How much time do you spend on the inside? How much time on the outside?

Emergencies do not develop character – They reveal character!

Good Management of Bad Experiences

LEARN IT

“It’s Not That Something Went Wrong”

The truth about bad experiences:

  • Everyone has them
  • No one likes them
  • Pain comes from multiple areas (Incompetence, Disappointment, Conflict, Change, Bad Health, etc.)

LIVE IT

“It’s Your Life – You Choose”

Choose a positive life stance

  • What are your life assumptions and presuppositions about life, people, and experiences?
  • With a positive life stance, good will become better and bad will not be as bad.
  • A positive life stance WILL find positive lessons in every experience.

Understand the need to embrace bad experiences. We all will face difficulties, but we will not all learn from them. In life there are winners and learners.

Take responsibility for your life

  • Are you a victim or victor?
  • Make good changes after bad experiences especially if you exercised bad judgement.
  • No matter what happens to us our attitude will put us on a chosen pathway.

LEAD IT

Remember, personal change requires action. Decide now to take action, attitude and altitude when the next painful experience arrives. In your life.
