Week 7: Developing Character
The first step in acquiring a skill is appreciating it. Proverbs 15: 33
This also includes developing character. This requires a deep and pivotal choice be made. Must you win at all costs? Or, do you insist, victory is never more valuable than my integrity. If you are to become a person of character then you must appreciate the virtues of character: integrity, courage, patience, and wisdom. Without appreciation you will be a charade rather than a person of character, a machine more than a man.
What does this look like in real life? Let’s say, you want to acquire wealth. Do you appreciate the value of the wealth you already have? Do you display your integrity through tithing? Do you show your courage by saving for what you desire? Do you demonstrate patience by not acting compulsively or wastefully? Do you have wisdom to pursue assets more than liabilities? Do you learn from and appreciate those who already have wealth?
What do you wish to acquire? How will you show your appreciation?
