  • What is the process by which we can become people of character? Each person has the same 24 hours in each day. In fact life is a series of cyclical events: sun up to sundown happens every 24 hours. Every 7 days is another week. One revolution around the sun is a year... and we start some things over. But hopefully we are not in the same place, we are not the same person every time the earth goes around the sun or even every 24 hours when the sun comes up and goes back down. Hopefully we have gotten better over this series of cycles.

    To help recognize our growth, and likely to encourage our maturity as contributing members of society and people of character, almost every community has "rites of passage" to recognize siginficant times in life when a person transitions from one stage to the next. Most often this is from childhood to being an adult. Bar/Bat mitzvas, quinceanera, graduations, marriages and even retirement parties are examples of such rites. These are public celebrations of individual accomplishments.

    An important question to ponder is where am I in my development through all these cycles (daily, monthly, yearly, etc.), particularly as it pertains to becoming a better person and developming character. The passage of time is not the qualifier. Plenty of people simply waste their time in a state of stagnation and ease. Am I pushing my limits, growing, expaning my capacity even if it is uncomfortable. Improvement always comes at a price and requires sacrifice.

    This episode contains a story as related by Maria Baer and John Stonestreet on the BreakPoint podcast (aired on May 10, 2024).
