There are many things we can struggle with in life, and one of them is a weak character. You might have the best intentions in life, and you might have the strongest hopes for your future, but if you don't have the character to bring something through, then you will not make it.

Right now I am up early to get some work done. I didn't feel like getting out of bed at 05.00 to get started, but I knew I had to get it done, so I jumped out of bed still and here I am working. To do things that you don't feel like doing or that feels tough, you need to have a will, and you need to have a character. To make the right choice when it would be easier to make a bad choice, that is when you need commitment and character as well, which means you have integrity and you have the strength to pull it through.
But, if you have the wrong attitude, it will eventually also lead you to a weakness in your character. Why is that? You cannot have a fantastic character without a great attitude, because your attitude will automatically influence and impact your character. It is like the boat might want to travel to New Zealand, but if the steering wheel sets course for another direction, it might be that the character of the boat is good, but the attitude sends it in another direction.
