Personality and Character


Personality is how you respond on a typical day.

Character is how you show up on your worst day.

It's easy to demonstrate fairness, integrity and generosity when things are going well.

The real question is whether you stand by those values when the deck is stacked against you.
~Adam Grant

How do you stick to your values when things seem stacked against you?

I feel that my character is being challenged just trying to answer this question.

I know I've gone through rough parts of life (including a divorce) and I think I've handled it all well. I have no enemies and I have helped others when then they needed someone.

I don't characterize anyone. Judgement is an honour for a higher power.

Then again, I'm an easy target — I believe in three chances.

And as for being fooled? I imagine I'll continue to be tripped up, at least until I figure them out. Because my heart is forgiving, I'll probably be screwed... more than once. It's happened.

It's a chance I'll take and continue to risk.

all you can do is your best
weather it good enough or not
if people stand back and watch one struggle
do they step in as if you need help or want help
that's when the true you shows with our answer

I'm probably not as good as I think I am! But I do try to be a stand up person!

When I feel the pressure of a situation such as when someone is trying to push my buttons, I think BEFORE I respond. It's the advantage of having a "slow boil" temper.

I know that I have the capability to tear them apart with my words in person, telephone, or in e-mail (without even swearing) so I choose the path of respect instead. That way, I won't regret the interaction. Then, if that person STILL choses to push me, I can either decide to stand up more firmly or walk away with my head held high.

I like ti think I show my values at all times and stick to what I believe but if I'm honest, I'd be the first one to back down in an angry mob challenging me. Not that they would change me but they would make me walk away and shut up. Which is pretty pitiful!!

Such a great quote and so very true too, you should always be the best version of yourself that you can be, which covers both character and personality I think.

I hope your Monday is a great start to your week..

Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

I would like to think that I do stand by my values. However, I believe that character, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. I am sure there are people who think I am a responsible human being and there are others that don’t. And I am going to be just fine regardless

Thank you for your concern. I am "OK", continuing to put one foot in front of the other. Being back at work is a good distraction.

Sounds like you have handled things successfully. Keep it up!

This post wasn't about judgement. We both agree that the only one who can judge someone is a higher power. "Actions speak louder than words" comes to mind.

Yes, trying to also do your best will stand up to anyone else's scrutiny.

Often, we are our own worst critics. I am sure you are doing just fine

Being able to pause and think before speaking or responding takes discipline. Many are not that self-aware so kudos for being able to do so. Knowing when to take further steps is also a learned skill.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting Nice to see you are still on here.

Sounds like you are being hard on yourself. I am not good at handling confrontations, especially an 'angry mob'. Walking away can be the {B] best decision.

I really liked this quote which is why I chose to share it. There's no doubt that being the best version of ourselves can be challenging. I am glad today is almost over. Tomorrow is another day!

Reminds me of the expression, "You can't please everyone". I prefer to know that I can look at myself in the mirror and be proud of who I am.
