My Character Goals

Character is an element that is shown to other people about you. It can simply determine what kind of person you are, but it’s not always positive. Sometimes it has to be changed for a better life ahead of you. I have two negative characters within me that I really have to manage by myself. The two negative characters that I have are my personality and my words.
When I was young, I had the prettiest smile in the world. It might hear like hubris, but it is true. Every time I smile, I felt like the world loves me too. As I was going up to middle school, high school, and the world of pre-adulthood, my smile began to fade. I was arguing, thinking negative things against my life, losing self-esteem, and more. I can describe this “syndrome” like a typical teenager confused about her identity and her future in common. I realize I was getting involved in this corrupted world. My parents and my friends are worried but I just can’t help it. A little brightness and a little smile on my face might change step by step.
The last goal that I want to make is to have a serious circumspection of my words coming out of my mouth. “The heart of the righteous weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil.” (NIV Prov. 15:28). “Do not let unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” (NIV Eph. 4:29) These two verses talk about how we should use our mouths properly. Sometimes, I have to control of what I am saying, because it can hurt other people’s feelings. It is hard because I can’t read people’s minds. I always put these verses on my desk to remind myself of my actions. However, as humans sin, I always sin through my mouth.
