Character
Things are replaceable and turn to dust, but people’s legacies live on. The world will talk about what you did and how you impacted the universe, but most importantly, people will talk about the person you decided to be and how you lived your life.
They say character is who you are when nobody is around, it's also who you are all of the time. Whom we choose to be is tested constantly, whether in private or public. So, really, character is how you live your life on and off the stage.
The reason why we never lose our sense of character is because when character is lost, we really have nothing. What will people say about you when you’re gone?
We’ve never heard anyone say, “Oh, he drove a Ferrari before he died,” or “She lived in an enormous beach house for her entire life,” when speaking about the kind of life one lived.
The kind of things you will hear will go something like this: “He never let me down,” or “He worked so hard for that Ferrari,” or “She risked everything for that business so she could eventually get that house.” So, we should never compromise our character, regardless of how much we’re tempted.
Character is essentially who you are and how you choose to treat people. It’s what people will remember after you’re gone.
The ups and downs of life are tough. We wake up one day happy as ever and the next day, we’ve lost all hope in our goals. What’s left is how much faith we choose to have in ourselves. Once that’s gone, there’s pretty much no effort to move forward with anything.
Remember, we cannot lose faith in ourselves. It’s all that’s left when we lose everything. Ultimately, people will reflect more on who you were as a person, rather than what you had.
Your legacy is defined by your actions and how you execute those actions. When your dignity, trust and character are tested, what kind of legacy will you want to leave? When you feel like all is lost, you must continue to believe in yourself and remain faithful that things will end up okay.
