What is Character?

The foundation of character is the personal set of principles or beliefs that shapes one’s actions. These underlying principles or beliefs may come from one’s family, friends, religion, entertainment, activities or even social media threads. They lead one to act in certain patterns and behaviors, which can be defined as character. Character can grow over time as principles are practiced or can transform over time as beliefs change.
