Character Improvement Is Real Self Improvement. How We Can Improve Our Character?

Character Improvement Is Real Self Improvement. How We Can Improve Our Character?Benjamin Franklin designed for himself a plan for building character that certainly seems to have been successful in many respects. He identified thirteen character qualities that he felt he needed to improve in his own life and he devised a method of focusing his attention on each of those qualities for one week at a time. Thus, during a year’s time, Mr. Franklin would go through his entire list four times. From Benjamin Franklin’s plan we learn the value of focusing our attention on one character quality at a time. During that time we should seek to understand as much as possible about the character quality – what it really is, how it has been illustrated in positive and negative ways in history, how it can be applied to our own life situations. We should also attempt to live our lives as if we fully possessed the character quality upon which we are focusing. We should be aware of how the character quality (or the lack of it) is demonstrated in the lives of those around us and evaluate the results and consequences we see in their lives.
