Self Awareness is Character Awareness
Spend all your time in building character................ The building blocks of principles should be laid down firmly............... These building blocks will guide you toward God and your very own truth.............. Self discipline builds character........ Self discipline is the unending conversation between the ego and the Self............. Constant interrogation of one's ego gives one the profound answers in which truth alone prevails............. The truth derived from within makes one aware of the Self............... Self awareness leads to character awareness.........
One must have a strong resolve to honor the Self.............. and he must be able to bear with ease the sudden and subtle changes of time..................... The worldly tasks will continue.......... bringing to its gains and losses................ But the man of character must embrace both equally, and turn in, both times to lean on the principles of truth and his nature of love............................ Every choice will bring with it, its responsibility.............. and every responsibility will bring with it, its pleasures and fears......................... but the man of character will accept both with equal fortitude and a mature understanding.................. As goodness cannot be derived, character cannot be achieved!................ Goodness is spontaneous and character is the expression of that spontaneity............. The nature of the soul is "to be"...... and goodness is the" beingness"................... Goodness is the source of peace................ The good can accomplish any task and remain lighthearted.............. They give themselves fully and remain detached to the entire course of the work................. As long as they can connect with the peace within them, they continue the task without hesitation............... Whenever the stream of peace gets obstructed, they realize that they have in some way strayed from goodness................ It is then that they retreat to their Self and draw from it the wealth of the principles............. Once again, the building blocks are laid down with a deeper resolve............. and with that, they return to the unfinished task with a character that is refined and rejuvenated............
