Do
you have the character to move the world? Do you have the character to move
yourself?
July’s Awakening, Day 30
Perhaps there is no more important
component of character than steadfast resolution. The boys and girls who are
going to make great men and women, or are going to count in any way in after
life, must make up their minds not merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but
to win in spite of a thousand repulses and defeats.
—Theodore Roosevelt
Let him that would move the world,
first move himself.
—Socrates
Not
only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering
produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. Romans
5:3–4 NIV
Your
character is your driving force for propelling you ever onward with the perseverance
to live the victorious life and attain great success. A thousand obstacles will
certainly come, a thousand obstacles will need to be overcome. A thousand
disheartening disappointments, failures, and defeats may come, but character knows
that the ultimate victory may be coming up next. Character does not know quit
or stop, only press on, move forward and persevere. The greatest of
achievements all come about through the greatest perseverance. To move the
world you must first be able to move yourself—with character and resolve and
the hand of God to guide you.
