Your
character is your total responsibility. Stop blaming others for you.
July’s Awakening, Day 29
Parents can only give good advice or
put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person’s character lies
in their own hands.
—Anne Frank
Our character is but the stamp on our
souls of the free choices of good and evil we have made through life.
—John Cunningham Geikie
Start
children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will
not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6 NIV
As parents, we can only bring up our
children to the best of our ability with the resources that we have. We can
guide and direct, encourage and support, and teach and instruct, but in the
final analysis, it is our children themselves who must take full responsibility
for their character and conduct. The outcomes are quite varied based on the innate
personality of the individual. You could have had the best of parents, yet
turned out rotten. Conversely, you could have had the worst of parents, yet
turned out as a shining star. One must never place blame on others for your own
inability to manifest and exemplify great character. It’s up to you. It’s your
choice. It’s every choice you make each day. Take responsibility and make
yourself the best you can be, despite your upbringing, despite the odds, your character
is what you make it to be.
