People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world
is a confession of character. –Ralph Waldo Emerson
What do your opinions confess about your character? Character
may not seem remotely important to some, but there is a lot more at stake than
just the shoddy character of one person. There are added negative aspects
involved if one does not seem to care about the kind of person he or she is. One
may think “well it’s my life and my business,” which is only true to a certain
point. As a member of society, your character should be more than just your
business. Your business and the way you conduct it affects everyone else
business- so to speak. The energy you bring into a room affects everyone in it.
And you are responsible for the energy you bring into a room.
Your character should be what you leave behind in this world.
Anyone can come into this world and leave it without making any impact. It’s
even easier to come into it and make a negative impact. Negativity always begets
negativity and it’s always easier to carry on in that manner. That is why we
see so much of it. Negativity is easy and it becomes a very convenient habit. What’s
harder, and therefore character building is to be a person of positivity. This
is not an easy feat. It is a difficult thing mostly. Keeping on track is hard
work and it’s easy to become derailed. However, it is always worth it. Your positive
energy will seep out into the world. You may not see it or get to hear about it
all the time, but its effects are far more than you can ever imagine. It is and
always has been the little things in life that make the greatest difference.
Doing the right thing has always had more impact than doing the wrong thing. Kind
gestures go beyond what you would imagine. A friendly smile or a few
encouraging words make more difference than you will ever realize.
Good character provides a display of what one should be like
and strive to be. All of our actions teach those around us. As members of
society we have a responsibility to be more proactive and lead by example. Our
thoughts, opinions and deeds make a bigger impact in the world than just
ourselves. There is a bigger picture at hand in which we are responsible for
creating our own realities- making it a good reality or a bad reality is
entirely up to us. Be the change in the world you want to see.
