CHARACTER COUNTS

"Be more concerned with your CHARACTER than your reputation, 

because your CHARACTER is what you really are, while your 

reputation is merely what others think you are."

John Wooden

char·ac·ter

ˈkerəktər/

1. - the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual.

What type of CHARACTER do you display?

They say (whoever "they" are), that your true CHARACTER will be on display when you are faced with adversity.

How will you react?

Remember, we have said multiple times over the past year that "MY response is MY responsibility."

What does that mean?

OWN IT!

You make a mistake...OWN IT.

You say something you regret the moment it leaves our lips...OWN IT.

Take the high road.

Watch what you say.

Watch who you say it to.

It's not always easy to refrain from acting out....especially when you've done nothing to deserve the onslaught.

You cannot UNRING the bell, so let your CHARACTER....your INTEGRITY win the day.

IF this has been a struggle for you, START today.  OWN your actions moving forward.  Take responsibility and tell yourself, "MY RESPONSE IS MY RESPONSIBILITY!"

It might sting....today.

It might hurt....today.

But in the end, you will come out ahead.

In your BEST YEAR YET, your CHARACTER COUNTS!
