If you were to ask me what one attribute I look for in a brother, mentor, candidate or friend, I would say character. I admire men of character and constantly strive to develop it in my own life as well.
What exactly is character? Character means standing up for what you believe in when it’s not the popular or easy choice. It means having integrity and being consistent to your values. It means being loyal and faithful to a devotion, person or cause. It means understanding when you have made a mistake and being able to admit that you were wrong. It means being able to sacrifice your personal gain for an even greater purpose. Character is that one human attribute that is just uncommon and the attribute that far too many people are lacking. Even myself.
It’s when I think about men of character, that I can see that I’m just a young, immature boy with plenty of room to grow.
