Character is a vast topic that has a broader definition than Africa is wide. Essentially for the thought here, character is how you act who you are when nobody is around. This is not limited to actions but, it is also the thoughts that are circulate in your mind!
Many people pray and ask God for things that they morally are not ready for. They practice hard and work out to be a professional. This person consistently is in trouble. The actions and thoughts counteract what the destiny is inteded to be. I truly believe out of the abundance does the heart speak. If I constantly tell myself tha I want to be a professional athlete I can not then go and do stuff that pushes makes backtrack from the goal.
Character includes ethical standards that are unwavering. Determination to not step on anther to get what is needed for you to get what you want. Character is how you act when adversity is nie. Do you run or do you stay for battle?
When you get to your destined place it is a fight to be there and to maintain your position. The position you hold is at risk by any little slip or tumble. God forbid a fall.
In professional sports and in the business world you view high ranking people compromising their position because of mistakes that could have been avoided or dealt with differently. I agree that trouble will come but their are ways to deal with all situations. The multitude of people just go the easy route and make unethical and character-less decisions that ultimately lose them their place. That they have worked hard for.
I propose this to you make sure that you are totally ready to fulfill your destiny before you ask for it. I know that mistakes will happen. Believe it or not your success is tied to someone else's. You overcoming adversity and maintaining your position is key in someone else's development.
"I don't want to go no place my character can't keep me" Pastor John F. Hannah.
The best way to move on is to face the dilemma head on. This step is crucial to a successful future. While making the journey of life you trip and sometimes you stumble. The trick is to know where you want to go and keep moving towards it. The test is keeping your eyes focused forward and not look to the comfort of the past rest station.
The walking process is done by placing one foot in front of the other. This seems simple in context but its hard when you have stone after stone sometimes being thrown at your feet. In an effort to avoid those your feet get tangled and you inadvertently stumble or come crashing to the ground. If the vision is focused forward then you realize that you have no other choice but to get where you have to go. Many times you get stuck on that area of the journey. If your vision is focused forward your inner man tugs on you and tells the outer its time to move.
Knowing where your eyes are focused can become a challenge. Mirages of the final destination seem to appear rather frequently when you are on the verge of the destination. The mirage usually has a stone that you trip and fall on when you are diving to what you assume is a proper resting place on the way to your promise.
Just like a mirage you fail to find what the picture showed. These mirages are overcome by each persons own triumph and past failures. Your past is your greatest teacher. In football there is a block called "the cut" block. This block essentially takes the defensive players legs out so that he can not keep with his pursuit to the Quarterback or ball carrier.
The cut block can be defeated by keeping your eyes up, putting your hands down and your outside foot back to get around. This same thing can be done in life to get around those stones that are thrown at your feet while on the journey of life.
In essence be aware of your past so that you don't keep getting tripped up by the same mirage and stone. The way you look forward determines how far you look. I charge you to look forward and and keep moving and build your innerman so it is determined to move inspite of!
