CHARACTER IS A CHOICE

How you act in the world

How your conscience plays out

In the bigger arena

Determines your character

Character is a choice

For you to execute ethically

The most important thing

You can equip yourself with

Is good character because

Character is a choice

It is the underpinning for every correction

It should be the underpinning for your life

Like often said a good name is better than great riches

Yet we are under so much pressure to perform today

In business and in our personal lives

That it’s easy to succumb to shades of gray

When we try to achieve something great importance

But if you succumb, you risk forfeiting your good name

And losing your character that should be the very

Foundation of your life 

Character is a choice

You make each and every day

Your character is what you are in the dark

Choose character over compromise

You kept your commitment to your boss and co-worker

You don’t have to lie

You made the ethical choice

When it was easier to compromise

And ultimately that will always make you feel better

Remember character is a choice

We’re faced with these small moments

Of choice constantly but even if they seem small

The constant choices we make

Will determine how ethical we are

Character is a choice
