 Look at yourself as your family, co-workers, customers, students and the general public may be seeing you. Endeavor to like and admire what you and they see. Don’t kid yourself and fall victim to self-deception. Success means nothing if you are a professional athlete on drugs. Success means nothing if you are a doctor who is abusive at home. Success means nothing if your sole aim is to make your own life easier. You can’t honestly judge others if you can’t honestly judge yourself. You cannot build a stronger self if you rely upon what may be the self-serving false appraisal and expectations of others. Do yourself a favor and be honest with yourself. Are you doing all you can do? If you are not honest with yourself, doubts and fears will haunt you. During your quiet time each day, quickly contemplate the thought: Is this the way that I want to be thinking and acting? Make self-reflection a daily habit. Pay close attention to yourself. This is character building.
