Day 2361: Honesty, Being Uncomfortable and My Moment of Character

1 Reply

Be honest even when it’s uncomfortable – that’s my message to the world.

 

It’s 11  :  33 AM on day 2361 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, have breakfast, read Philippians 2:3  and learn a new word – Definitions for malfeasance
1. Law. the performance by a public official of an act that is legally unjustified, harmful, or contrary to law; wrongdoing (used especially of an act in violation of a public trust).

 

A few days ago somebody asked me about the books she had given me a few weeks ago and although it made me uncomfortable in the moment I answered honestly and rather sheepishly I donated one of them to the library (I knew I was never going to read it because books about history aren’t really my thing so I donated it to the library) I am so proud that I didn’t lie my way out of discomfort that was one of my moments of character.

Day 2005: Character and Wealth

Leave a reply

To be of character is a human being’s greatest wealth – that’s what I realized today.

 

It’s 12 : 05 PM on day 2005 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read James 3,  learn one new thing – The name Pluto was suggested by Venetia Burney, an 11-year old school girl in England. She was interested in ancient mythology, and thought that Hades, the Greek god of the underworld, made a good name. She suggested Pluto, to match the Roman god names given to the other planets.–have breakfast and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – raised $3 297 only $2 953 more to raise by 10 Jan 2017  (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far :)  ).

 

Today I found myself thinking I would be okay even if I wasn’t rich as long as I was of character but then I realized to be of character is a human being’s greatest wealth.

Day 1670: Spending Your Character

Leave a reply

Doing the right thing costs you money and time but doing the wrong thing costs you your character what you choose to spend depends on what you value most – that’s what I realized today.

 

It’s 12 : 00 PM on day 1670 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray,    read Ezekiel 30, publish my Disability of the Day feature,   learn one new thing –Gestation [period of a zebra]: 12-13 months – have breakfast and hang out with family (it’s Easter break here so everyone’s home).

 

Today I realized that doing the right thing costs you money and time but doing the wrong thing costs you your character what you choose to spend depends on what you value most I would rather spend my money and time and keep my character than keep my money and time and spend my character. Do you spend your money and time or do you spend your character?
