“Worry about your character, not your reputation.
Your character is who you are,
Your reputation is who people think you are.”
Sometimes we get too caught up in what people think about us and forget to worry about what really matters in life, like the people who love us for who we really are, and who we really are deep down inside of our hearts. In order to not worry about our reputations, we have to live our own lives, being confident in the goals we have set for ourselves, and also being confident in the fact that though not everyone may like us, and though not everyone will believe in what exactly we are doing.
If we do what is right for ourselves, and if we do everything that we do out of love, there is truly not a thing, person, or situation in this world that can stop us from being where we want to be, and who we want to be. Life will throw many obstacles at us in order to try to deter us from the places and from the growth as people in which we really deserve. There will be many tests in life, but one test we should never fail is a test of our character. We should always be who we really are deep down on the inside, at all times, never let life make you live as a person that you really aren't.
"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
Only through experiences of trial and suffering
Can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared,
Ambition inspired and success achieved."
Helen Keller
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
“A reputation for a thousand years may depend upon
The conduct of a single moment.”
Ernest Bramah
“A reputation once broken may possibly be repaired,
But the world will always keep their eyes
On the spot where the crack was.”
