“You fall in love with personality but you live with character.”

The Quote of the day for March 11, 2009

I thought this was an amazingly real observation. It’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot in the past few weeks. How difficult is it to know someone’s true character? If it’s not so flattering people tend to hide it for dear life; however, if we really look its there for the seeing. You just have to honestly want to see it. Look past the good looks, the quick jokes, the witty comments and the fog of nothingness.

I think that the most difficult times in someone’s life brings out their true character. When the going gets tough that’s when, the tough get going, or the cowardly go running, the insecure project, the proud pretend, the stubborn argue and the weak blame.

At the end of the day character is what we are left with. So make it your priority with your friends and loves. Then down the road through the biggest trials of your life you will know who you can count on… For REAL!!!
