In the skeins of time, nothing is really more important than developing our character in a way and manner that we are able to demonstrate in real life that we are of good character, such that we see through the notable qualities of integrity, discipline, forgiveness, and our personal effort to do our fair part for the greater good. This world is forever a proving ground, and though none of us will start at the same place, each of us is meant to arrive, though, at the same place, which thereby means that we are born to demonstrate that we are true to that which first created us, by taking on the qualities that represent the best of humankind.
In life, we will be tempted, and we also will meet those others that will direct us away from what we are supposed to be doing, but in all of these cases, we have the free will to do the right thing, of which, it is our responsibility to do right or else suffer the consequences for our having done wrong, or ignoring that which we should have taken action upon. Look, nobody is going to get it right all of the time, but the trendline represents where we are going, and when that trendline is heading in the wrong direction, it is up to us, to make good where we need and ought to make good, or else our good characteristics have taken a backseat to our bad characteristics, of deceit, laziness and bad habits.
In life, we are ultimately accountable for all that we do and say, and pointing the finger here or there is not going to resolve what needs to be resolved. So too, those that risk nothing are going to obtain little or nothing, because it is up to us to prove that we will do good for others through our application of the right stuff, and further that we will not waver from doing right. Additionally, each of us won’t be tested just once, and won’t be tempted just once, but rather we are going to be tested again and again, of which, it is by our correct decisions that this builds the foundation of not only our good character, but the type of character that will stand strong throughout the vicissitudes of life.
It is vital that we have a meaningful destination in life, so that it follows that we need to expend the time to examine who and what we are, and where we are found to be wanting, to develop ourselves in a manner that will overcome those defects that must be amended and improved. It isn’t good enough to just try, for we are tasked with overcoming that which stands in our way, and are thereby provided with the toolset to get that done, which may well require the help and aid of good others to assist us in getting to where we ought to be, which is why we have families, communities and societies, because the very point of those relationships is to understand well that none of us is here alone, but we are all of the same stuff, meant to do our fair part with one another so that together we will arrive at the only place that matters.
