The Secret to Character Traits

Summary

• I consider character traits to be learned skills, not innate qualities we're born with.
• We recognize someone's character traits not through their thoughts or words, but by observing their actions.
• Exhibiting patience is crucial for success in business; it's a foundational skill that needs to be developed.
• It's important to continuously work on personal development to cultivate the character traits that align with our aspirations.

How To Take Action

I would suggest focusing on actions more than words or thoughts because character shows through what we do. Start small by setting daily goals that reflect the character traits you want to develop–like patience in business. Every day, look for moments to practice patience. Maybe it's taking a deep breath when you're frustrated, or waiting calmly when things don't go as planned.

A good way of doing this is by keeping a journal of your actions. Write down what you did that day that showed patience. If you find yourself getting impatient, write that down too. This helps you learn from your mistakes.

To make sure you're continuously growing, set aside time each week to work on personal development. It doesn't have to be long; even 20 minutes can make a difference. During this time, you could read a book or watch a video on character growth. Or, you could reflect on the past week's actions and see how well you kept up with your character goals.

Remember, change doesn't happen overnight. Start with one trait, like patience, and once you feel you've made progress, move on to another trait. Always tie your learning to real actions and review your improvements regularly. This way, you'll develop the character traits that align with your goals in business and personal growth.
