What is Character

Wikipedia has several definitions, but we like this one best: an evaluation of a particular individual's moral qualities.

Character is the constellation of traits that we demonstrate on a consistent basis.

Character is something you show when people aren't watching.

Your character can be influenced by upbringing, culture, world view, religion and many other factors.

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language defines character in several ways, using words like moral or ethical strength; attributes, traits or abilities; and competency, dependability and reputation.

Today, unfortunately, character is often confused with success. Success seems to be the only thing that counts, and success is often measured by money and possessions. How you acquired that "success" doesn't seem to be important. That is why there is such turmoil in our society and the world. Character has been forgotten or ignored.
