"Character is Destiny"

Love this quote.  It came from Shakespeare, wouldn't you know? The "Bard" was intelligent, clever and creative.  I like it, because it says so much in three simple words.  When looking it up on Google, I found several different explanations for its meaning but liked this one, in particular, offered by a user on Yahoo.com:

Character is essentially who you are. Your morals, beliefs, ideology, vices and virtues are all part of you character. With the mixtures your character is formed making you, and different aspects will change the outcome of your life, i.e. destiny.

For example, if your character is fueled by compassion for other people, and improvement of your surroundings chances are that ALL of your life decisions will be directed towards just that. I can't think of any one perfect example which embodies the aforementioned pieces of a character because there is no right or wrong example.

Have you thought about YOUR character?  What do you believe in?  Would you fight for it?  I would.  For my cats, dog, love of animals, their safety, comfort, health and protection.  You betcha!  For helping the poor and disinfranchised, the weak, the struggling. Hilary Clinton's book, "It Takes a Village" says it all.  We ALL need each other.  To help each other.  Be there for each other.  To care and reassure one another that, "we are not alone."

Take it to heart.
