"CHARACTER FORMATION WAYS "
In my own point of view, character
formation ways can help individual shaped good character. In order to have good character we need to follow the 8 character formation ways that helps you develop a winning personality.
It is very important to understand how to build a strong and good character. Also, our character should develop long into our lives. It is never too late to strengthen our character.
(8) Character formation ways
1. Follow ethical and moral values
Ethics and values make an individual aware that their choices have consequences, both for themselves and others. Thus, ethics and values build credibility, Leadership skills, improves decision making, and provides long term gains.
Ethics and values help in satisfying basic human needs. Being fair, honest and ethical is one the basic human needs.
Currently, everyone knows the value of ethics and values. Every individual should have manners and ethical principles to live a life, and in all the areas ethics and values are being used to work smoothly.
Base on my experienced, A sample of the value as can be seen if one wants to make a friend with another they must have values with them they should be a hard worker and honest with one another and forever be truthful with them.
Also, ethics can be said as if someone has stolen someone’s things so we should help the people whose things have been stolen and not to run away from the situation. Ethics and values are very important and necessary in our lives, and we should always follow them all through our lives.
Expert values and ethics are bare extensions of the values and ethics which a person learned from family, spiritual leaders and teachers. Whatever is taught in school and colleges to value growing up will carry over in the professional world.
2. Help others with no expectations
I believe that, "Doing something for someone else simply out of the kindness of your heart speaks volumes about who you are as a person."
When you help others with no expectation of anything in return, you begin to feel more fulfilled, more complete, more alive.
However, in currently situation as i observe most people today are motivated by what they get in return, we should learn to help with no expectation of repayment, for we shall be repaid with joy and fulfillment in countless other ways.
People exists who help without expecting anything in return. Though the number are quite less.
Helping for publicity can give you few minutes of pleasure, but if you help someone honestly you will get happiness that lasts long.
Indeed, Even if I never receive anything material from helping other people, I still get something in return. I get the personal satisfaction of helping somebody else.
3. Opt for challenging job
Challenging yourself through a job is that most stepping outside of your comfort zone that can develop your career growth.
No one ever learned anything new or expanded their skill set by doing the same thing day after day. Applying for a job that you know will be challenging is one of the smartest ways to kick start your career. You might be surprised at what you will learn and what skills you develop. The benefits of choosing a job that is just a bit outside of your skillset are many.
It is so important to try new things, take on new challenges, and test our skills in new and different ways. A professional who is always learning is one who can remain relevant.
In fact, by pushing yourself to grow into new and challenging roles, you show active leadership and the intention to move your career forward. Not everyone is willing to learn new things and take on challenges. This is a great way to earn solid recognition, even if you don’t have everything figured out just yet.
Always remember that, nothing is permanent so you need to growth as a person by opt for relevant challenges. Knowing that one can overcome obstacles, learn from struggles and benefit from mistakes lays a solid foundation for success in later life.
4. Avoid saying negative words
Words are extremely powerful tools that we can use to uplift our personal energy and improve our lives, though we’re often not conscious of the words we speak, read, and expose ourselves to. Yes, even the words of others can easily affect our personal vibration. Spend a few minutes with a chronic complainer who uses all sorts of negative terms, and you’ll feel your personal energy bottom out.
Words have power. Their meaning crystallizes perceptions that shape our beliefs, drive our behavior, and ultimately, create our world. Their power arises from our emotional responses when we read, speak, or hear them.
In contrast, Focusing on negative thoughts may lead to decreased motivation as well as greater feelings of helplessness. This type of critical inner dialogue has even been linked to depression, so it's definitely something to fix.
To build good character we should practice to avoid saying negative words Instead, use positive words cause it will shape your mind, alleviates stress and improve your general well-being.
5. Avoid fulling prey to obsessing desire
We can't deny the fact that when individuals with generalized anxiety disorder are prone to constant worry, everyone can fall prey to ruminating or obsessing when faced with a difficult situation.
Every situation we go through has the potential to teach us something. Think about what you are obsessing about and see how to use it to improve yourself. For example, if you are ruminating about a mistake you made at work or school, think about steps you can take to make sure the same mistake doesn't happen again. By looking at how you can improve, you begin focusing on the positive of the situation rather than the negative.
In addition, Figuring out exactly what it is you are obessing about can be helpful. By doing this, you gain control by being able to address the real situation.
Thinking is a wonderful tool that allows us to plan for the future, anticipate, and solve problems. But in order to live a balanced life and not waste our time worrying, we need to learn how to handle our challenges and take in the world around us. Sometimes the greatest inspirations come when we stop thinking and open our minds to a deeper stream of experience.
6. Face challenges without stepping back
Everyone faces challenges in their life.
Facing challenges is never easy, and these days, there are some real challenges many of us face at work, at home, in relationships, with money, with family, in the world, school and much more.
Life was never meant to be easy, it was meant to be a journey filled with quests, a journey where we must travel through no matter how bad the obstructions are ahead of us. Everyone in their life has their ups, and downs, just like a roller coaster. And we can’t stop that roller coaster, it’s the cycle of life. In the cycle of life, we are taught that even our failures are better than our victories. Life doesn’t punish us for our downfalls, but it rewards us for our own successes. Obstacles shouldn’t be viewed as a burden, but rather as a blessing and a stepping stone to our success in the future. Obstacles give us a chance to grow and nourish. Behind everyone’s faces, lies a story. A story of them facing their own adversities, and we all have our own stories. Life will continue to trip us with hurdles. But we all have a choice; A choice to grow, a choice to stay moving forward instead of stepping back.
At last, the most important thing you can do for facing any challenge is to believe in yourself.
7. Build personal values of cooperation, courage, friendship, productivity, courtesy,
respect, patience, compassion, etc.
Personal Values Personal values reflect what we think is important in life. Such as, the decisions we make and the actions we take.
It is very important to build personal values because values help us live with direction and purpose like a guiding compass. Whatever is going on in our lives, our values can show us a path forward, and help us make better choices.
Through cooperation, courage, friendship, productivity, courtesy, respect, patience, compassion, etc. It encourages or motivates us to muscle through every situation, no matter how difficult it seems to be. Those personal values are broad desirable goals that motivate people’s actions and serve as guiding principles in our lives.
8. Draw inspiration from others
Based on the quote that i read it stated that "When you embrace your strengths and start to make something out of what you have, then you also begin to be an inspiration to others."
It means that you are not living alone. I bet there are many people besides you, whether your family, your friend or others people you love. For some reason, you need to climb up the highest mountain and achieve a success. But at the same time, you also can’t ignore the existence of folks surrounding you. Be a successful one but don’t forget to inspire others because the greatest level of success if making other people success.
Building a people means eliminating our weaknesses and developing our strengths.
Furthermore, There are many characteristics that have the power to inspire and uplift those around you. You can learn how to inspire others with your courage, drive, creativity, or passion for life.
