Ethics Box - Exploring Personality and Character for sake of self-improvement

 
Tapsearch Com Editor and Artist Ray Tapajna with EthicsBox.com - studies Personality and Character for the sake of self-improvement. His mission is to probe ways for a new "Solidarity" for self, others and society under the guiding thought that each of us want to feel all together in one place at one time. It is also obvious that workers have no voice in the process of Globalization and Free Trade and hopefully the EthicsBox will prompt a change. See a posts about the "unnetted" at Bizarre Politics com and The Rationale com. Later we will get into the power of the spoken word and how all of us can improve ourselves in this discipline too. It is obvious workers have no voice in the process of Globalization and Free Trade.

Habits are very intimate

This continues our exploration of character and personality for the sake of self-improvement by Ray Tapajna from his notes from course by Father McQuade, SJ, JCU - this post continues the study of habits.

The relationship between personality and habit is very intimate, but it is more so between character and habit. Related to character, habit should be a process of choosing good, the morally good, that is the very essence of character - we even find ourselves attracted to the homeless poet who demonstrates this over the successful author who doesn't


There is a moral quality that can be applied to habits. A good habit becomes a notable virtue. The bad habit takes us to the dark side of life. It may be even pleasurable for a time but we know what the negative end results will ultimately follow. A bad habit becomes a vice.

Forming a good character is not as easy as forming a good personality. We see many attractive personalities without good characters. Character is the inner disposition of the mind and heart towards the better things of life. It shows us more than anything else , we have to live with ourselves after the party is over. Bad habits affects the nerves and ruts in the nervous system and can contaminate the whole person.

Habits can become routine and hidden in the actions of the day as we live it. Habits can develope clever dodges that even affect our own mentality. However a good habit that becomes routine adds well-being and adds real delight in our lives while balancing out our personality.

Routines affect our social life too. We can exclude the elements that take us down with routines that truly free us up. We can all recall the quiet times we choose that brought us a good reflection of our actions that translated into the reality of the good things in life. Enlightenment can become a habit. Good habits opens many more doors than bad ones. A bad habit is like a bad part of a song that keep repeating over and over again.


In our next post we will study the formation of habits.
