CHARACTER WILL NOT BURY

August 31, 2009

No one can live with pride under the sky and over the surface without the strong character to protect his life and to achieve final objective of the life.

You can have 100 definitions of character. If you ask 100 people, “What is character? You may get at least 50 components of character.”

I try to focus on the following components to shape out character over the surface.

A) VALUES

B) CREDITABILITY

C) INNER-OUTER BALANCE

D) WALK ON TALK

E) STANDING TALL

We live with our core values everyday and throughout the life. Values indicate your beliefs and feelings. We must list out right now five values of our lives. I am influenced by three persons: M.K. Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Swami Vivekananda because of their values.

These people have developed their personal creed and, which they follow every day. Can I have personal creed? Can I carry the copy of personal creed everyday in my pocket?

Henri Fredric Amiel says, “The man who has no inner life is the slave of his surroundings.”

We all need inner balance. Inner balance is everything. That creates identity and creditability. We all must have habit to listen our inner voice. We all should follow inner voice which creates external life in the world.

Conflict and contradiction in inner and external life makes our life more miserable and petty. Slowly, life is controlled by situations and conditions. So, we are unable to control the life, space control the life, which is the saddest part of the one-time given life.

I think self discipline can be a tool of personal compass, which leads us to the great living and help us in achieving objective of the life.

Walk on talk is the sum total of all our everyday actions. It’s an interesting paradox of the life. Why people change their words? If we can talk on our own words, what is the fun in living with those words? And every day, I have to change my words? Why? Someday, sometime, we can understand, but every day, I have to change my words? So pathetic, for every changing words situation, I have logic and reason for defending my integrity; one saddest part of the life.

We should not be differing in promises and our deeds. Why we should create such differences in our life?

Can we live with walking on talking formula to live with pride? Can we refer our dairy and calendar?

How will I live in my absence???

I think character will not be buried with you. It will live after you leave this earth. This is true, weather you accept it or not it won’t make any difference to the character on the surface.

Can we all stand tall in our own eyes and in front of the other one? We all have that talent; only few have not tapped it. Standing tall shall be our attitude. We should stand tall at every turn of the life, even in all adversity, even in all failures, even in all failures. We cannot discount our character in any condition of life on any day of the life.

I would like to conclude Monday Wisdom with the message that situations and conditions can be out of control, but character cannot be out of control. Self discipline, personal creed, integrity, creditability and listening inner voice are the main tools of our life compass. Inner balance is the main key to lead the life. Let us, look forward to the brighter future with walking on talking attitude. We all can shape destiny with standing tall attitude. We all will die and will get buried but character will not get buried, it will live even after our death.
