"Character, the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life, is the source from which self-respect springs." (Joan Didion)
"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved." (Helen Keller)
Our character is an on-going evolution of who we are and who we will become. Because through every adversity, which there will be many throughout our lifetime, we are sharpened and shaped by it and our character is revealed and changed by it. Character is tested in the hard times, through the trials and tribulations of life and we can see the character of ourselves and others more clearly during these times. How we react and respond to obstacles, challenges, pain, loss, and heartbreak.
