Character is what we answer to. If you answer to some thing less than what you are you are then denying your true self. A more notable Cliche says "character is what you do when no one is watching". This is true but character is a lot more than that. It is the way you allow people to talk to you. The company that is kept and the way you think also are what drives character.

The company kept is a pivotal feature of character because they are your growth rate. Your growth rate as an individual is complementary to what you know and what you learn regularly. If the people you are tied to do not uplift you then you are denying yourself of moral responsibility to live life. Thus your character is is now questionable.

You can be around these people in public and act like them in private. You are then not being morally irresponsible with your character. You can then at this point lose your natural identity and then become someone else character. Character is claiming the highest aspirations and moral "uprightness"!

Character is daring to be a gentleman in a world that harsh to women. Character is daring to treat your naysayers like the king you are. Character is determination. Character is waking up in the night before a game to watch film because you refuse to lose. Character is helping a homeless person eat. Character is looking out for family even when they are not the best example.

I'm happy that I am in a position to decide whether or not I want to be a parent still. Parenting is a topic that many do not touch because it offends no matter how or what is said. So I propose that we offend to make way for a new thought.

My belief is that many parents do not realize that they are not raising there kids to be respectable citizens. Now a lot of people may ask "Dj how can you judge good parenting? You don't have kids that are successful. You don't even have kids. Nor, do you come from a long lineage of successful children? "

I think that not having kids and caring for children and dealing with their parents makes me great Judge for do's and Don't's. Hell, I have parents. There were lessons that should be taught to children that are missing in youth that are coming up. There are simple lessons about money and discipline to be taught.

Teaching kids about the value of a dollar should be done as soon as a child asks for something. There are too many false trust fund babies. This is because too many parents don't know how to say No and stick to it. Then Some parents don't teach the value of saving a dollar because they spend all of their money then look to the children. There is no reason to go in debt if you can't afford something say no and move on.

This then allows them to understand that you have to work. Once you work the house has a set income. We can do what is inside of this budgeted amount.

Discipline is lacking in a lot of children because they are not having to work for what they want. Parents are saying now I want to do better for my kids than what I had. We all know that the Journey to what you want is what you remember. The natural proclivity is to appreciate your success or present greatly when you have endured a true process.

In all my thoughts about New Parenting this the beginning I may be wrong! How do you suggest we do it?

The past month my Pastor has been teaching on different examples of relationships in the bible. He covered relationships from the relationship of David and Saul’s daughter to Abraham and Sarai. The relationship of Parent to child, spouse to spouse, and friendships were the topics that were derived from the bible for the month of february.

In the bible class on March 4, 2010 he spoke about life partners. He spoke about the different ways people are around other people. He gave the examples that people around for seasons, reasons, and lifetimes. This was very interesting to me because as humans we generally keep people around past the time that that they were supposed to be.

The person who is around for a reason is just there to teach a lesson and that is it. They are supposed to be let go once you get the lesson. The season person also teaches a lesson, but is around to help you understand the lesson. Also, they are not meant to endure a lifelong partnership with you. There are signs when to let both of these people exit. When they are causing more harm than good is a good time for them to exit. Every time you try to keep them around past their time it becomes a greater burden of frustration on you.

It should not be that big of burden to have a person in your life. Though there may be hurting with the lifetime person there is a common understanding to know why they are there and they allow you to be the best you. A life term person is trust worthy, and you are secure with the place that you have with them. You and this person allow each other to make mistakes and finally You all are with each other at your worst.

I challenge you to examine every person around you, and really dissect the relationship and see why they are there!

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!

In life people have good ideas that they look back on and say "I wish I had've done that.
I am a believer that when you want to do something, the only action to take is to DO! The only way to be happy about life is to take control of it and be a doer. In Christian Life we Christians have to Reach out to God and he will help. The point to that is to reach. The. Doer reaches and gets help.

In every day life all people come across simple tasks that we discount. Those simple tasks eventually amount to much if let mount. For example if you leave dishes in the sink for too long two things can happen. You acquire more dishes and the grease becomes harder to clean.
This is simply a push for you to go forth, become and Do! The road seems less daunting once you start the path.
