I am not a good guy, which is why I am in this situation.
Don't confuse behavior with character. There are times that my behavior sucks but the reason I know it sucks is because my core character is good and tells me my behavior sucks at this moment.
Character is a tree. Behavior is the shadow of the tree, it is not the tree. Water and nurture the tree by doing what is in the best interest of the tree and you will be amazed as growth takes off and proliferates.
Our characters are refined and tried by fire and when we have gone through the furnace, we emerge as pure gold and silver. Edward Dunedin
