Your choice of character

"Your talents and abilities can take you where your character can't keep you." - Steven Furtick

You have talent. You've built something special with hard work and God-given abilities. It takes years to establish the excellence you have reached. You have created something that is worth striving for. Momentum is going your way. You have made strides in an area that can make a difference for years to come. It is an achievement to be proud of. And it can be gone in an instant. What takes years to achieve can be gone with one single lapse of character. A decision to cut corners just this once. A decision to do something that no one else will know about. One decision that leads to a moral failure. All your momentum, all of your talent, all of your hard work... wasted because you chose to compromise your character.

We spends lots of time developing our talents. We teach our students to study hard. We spend hours becoming better at sports. We take time to learn to do things better and more efficiently at work. We spend lots of time on our talent and abilities, but what about developing our character? There isn't a short cut to developing character. It is made one choice at time. Is your character keeping up with your talents and abilities? Is there one thing out there with the potential to cancel out all of the success you've had up to this point? Your choice. Your character. Decide now because it could all be gone with one decision to compromise your character.
