Bring up children of great Character!

Someone once said “If you lose money, you lose nothing; if you lose health, you lose something; but if you lose character, you lose everything.” The strength of your character determines the weight of your destiny; and the depth of your character also determines the height of your destiny. There are many who are stranded in life, and whose destinies have been crippled by the trap of compromise.

Schools emphasize and ensure children are well disciplined and comply to a set of behaviors that are acceptable and which may help the child to do well in the studies. Unfortunately, all behaviors are not necessarily building the character. Children may comply to the school protocols and may even be known to be the best student, yet may be addicted to some devastating habits that derails them from fulfilling their ultimate purpose.

When a particular child messes in his/her studies, mostly may not be capacity issue. There are cases the child my be addicted to some behavior which is detrimental and has been overlooked by the parents or left unaddressed.  A child or an adult have marred character because of the compromises they make. Compromises toward errant behavior or a little waywardness, seriously impacts the character.

Character talks about who you are, your belief system, the values the families are modelling. You will do well to know that until your character is adjusted your destiny cannot be established. You must come to a point in your life where you examine yourself, and sincerely ask, “what is it in my life that needs correction. What is it in my life that needs to be adjusted?” There are many great people; people of potential; people of influence, who are wallowing in irrelevance, because of character bankruptcy - A little lies here and  a compromise there.

To a large extent people in India are so religious but sadly the religion has not helped us to maintain a good character. They do not know that God cannot do anything serious with someone whose character is out of order. The Bible says, “A good name is to be more desired than great riches.” You will be honored by God and people for the kind of person you have developed to be.
