Jim Rohn once said: “Personal success is built on the foundation of character, and character is the result of hundreds and hundreds of choices you make that gradually turn who you are at any given moment into who you want to be…”
Character comes from Old French caractere, via Latin from Greek kharaktēr ‘a stamping tool.’ In other words, Character comes from a Greek word meaning ‘chisel,’ or ‘the mark left by a chisel.’ Of course, a chisel is a sharp steel tool used for making a sculpture out of a hard or difficult material, like granite or marble. …
Character isn’t a magic wand; character comes from chisel, and I hope you’ll remember that. You’ve got to chisel your character out of the raw material of yourself just like a sculptor has to create a statue. The raw material is always there, and everything that happens to you, good or bad, is an opportunity for building your character.”
So true! Chisel all thoughts to produce who you want to be. Be the cause create your effect.

There is a reason why people don’t just do it.
It isn’t easy, even though it might seem easy to say and a simple tool.
How are you doing in the process?
