A Person's Character Is Their Destiny

Sow A Character, Reap A Destiny.
(William James)
Whatever You Create, It Should Be Something Desirable
As we work together toward the goal of re-creation, we need to make sure that we are creating something desirable, rather than something undesirable. Toward that end, you need to consider what aspects to your character you wish to have.
For example, do you want to be an honest person or a dishonest person? Do you want to act honorably, or dishonorably? Do you want to be known as trustworthy or untrustworthy?
Planning Ahead
By answering, in advance, questions about your character, you are laying a strong foundation for the destiny you are going to achieve. If you do not take the time to answer some of these questions, then it is possible your foundation may not be as stable as is required in order for you to achieve your goals.
