It’s been said that talent is a gift, but character is a choice.

In David Brooks’ book, The Road to Character, he explores what character is, what it does, and how various individuals chose to cultivate it in their lives. As I reflected on each of the life journeys he describes (and on my own pot-holed road), I kept coming back to the concept of faith.

WHAT IS FAITH?

To me, it’s trusting in something or someone bigger than myself that gives me a deep-seated confidence and conviction to stay the course, regardless of obstacles.

In my book, Replace Retirement - Living Your Legacy in the Exponential Age, I write about how to establish your character and stick to your goals. Learn more in my recent blog.
