Fruits of life
Thoughts on the roots of character
Character is why we do something. Because we are.
Personality is how we act and what we do. With techniques to get the outcomes we desire.
Thanks to our impatience, we seek immediate results. In communication, relationships, work, and fitness. We are receptive to quick fixes, how-to instructions, and simple hacks to take shortcuts to the fruits of life.
These might be successful in situations, but life doesn’t work that way.
We need to practice valuing second-order consequences over short-term success. Work on the core instead of the outer peel. That’s where meaningful achievements sprout.
