The Content of your Character (remember?)
November 10, 2008
What is yours (content of your character); in three words or less?!
We heard it referred to as Obama’s presidential election speech was reviewed; MLK’s words rang out. The reference was to the color of a person’s skin; but I feel it is deeper than that.
WE are all now called to dig into our own character and enhance relationships in 
our homes, work, schools, communities.
our homes, work, schools, communities.Dictionary.com defines character as
1.the aggregate of features and traits that form the individual nature of some person or thing.
2.one such feature or trait; characteristic.
3.moral or ethical quality: a man of fine, honorable character.
4.qualities of honesty, courage or the like; integrity
5.reputation
and on…with 22 total examples.

The time has come to take inventory, because the world is watching/listening and needs you/me. We are now to fall back on our Character which according to Calvin Coolidge “is the only secure foundation of the state.”
Here’s a good time to be not only your own best “cheer” leader, but for those around you; for it is in the giving that we receive….and that promotes good character!

Developing character or values in children is so important if we are going to develop values in adults. The year before I retired from school admin, we had all our staff take training on a Values approach to our entire school year. Everyone took the training from the teachers to the cooks. It was terrific training and certainly helped change the culture in our school which was diverse in nature. I now incorporate some of those values in Love My Journey at http://www.sherrieh.wordpress.com. I so believe that understanding character and values helps people to have better relationships.
