  4. Steps to Building Character • 1. Understand what character and Integrity are. The definitions of these words are often stretched or misrepresented. Learn what they truly mean:In this use, Character is the sum of qualities show up in a person or group, moral or ethical strength, and the description of a person's attributes, traits and abilities. Character is who you are. It defines you and guides your actions, hopefully in a positive way. • 2. Choose a set of rules, morals, or principles that you believe will lead to a happy, satisfying, and righteous life, as well as a better world. You can subscribe to the ethics of a particular religion, or you can develop your own, based on your experiences. • 3. Look at the choices you've made in your past, and observe how much you have or haven't lived by those principles. Don't waste time feeling regretful or guilty. Remember that "...until a person can say deeply and honestly, I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday, that person cannot say, I choose otherwise." -Stephen R. Covey. • 4. Decide what you must change in your behavior to align your life more closely to what you believe. • 5. Be conscious every day of the decisions you make, however big or small, and how close they bring you to being the person you really want to become.
