Defined

How will we defined?

How about this list for a starting point:

• The DIFFICULT decisions we made, not the easy ones.
• The UNCOMFORTABLE conversations we found the courage to have, not just the comfortable ones.
• The ADVERSITIES we overcame, not just the successes we enjoyed.
• Those we HELPED WIN, not those we won against.
• The CREATIVE WORK we made, not the jobs we had.
• The right things we DID, not just the things we did right.
• The risks we courageously took, not the paths we thought were safe--but really weren't
• The things we finished, not those we simply started.

In other words, I think we are defined more by our CHARACTER, than our SKILLS.

Skills can be learned from a textbook.

Character must be developed from experience--and then tested.

Over, and over.

Until it becomes a suit of armor that protects us during the storms.

And there will be storms.

And character will be that medal of honor we display that not only gets us through the storms, but across the finish line.

To victory.
