Insightful post, penny. A little sad actually, but very deep and insightful.
But I have always maintained that the people you hang around with either bring you down, or take you up.
If you have high charater, thenyou will not settle for les, and you will eventually one day ONLY associate with people of high character JUST LIKE YOU.
Epictus stated "Character is Destiny."
Dr. Paul often states that quote.
ITs true.
the level of Charcater determines your success. now, success defintions differ.
So you can be a rich ass hole, and a poor Saint.
But a positive, ethical, shrewd, and considerate mind set of Abundance will make the difference whether you are rich or poor. In your mind you will always be happy, and content, so you will always FEEL successful, even if its not up to OTHER peopels standards
Although it is also unlikely that if you have all those qulaities and more, than you will be poor. That i the good thing about that too.
People of high character will find each other.
You will eventually FIND the people who have same values as you.
If they dont have the same values as you, then you sholud IMHO evaluate why youre around them.
There is sooooooooo much to talk about with this Topic alone, it is staggering.
And yes, it applies to Women also.
Penny has often stated that she believes that Men, as partners, should have high character and bring their women up, in the sense of being a role model and leading by example.
Many women admire high character, because they feel that their men will be Go Getters,and make things happen. They will be SUCCESSFUL.
We would love that our partners be inspiring and motivating, interesting, and we can learn from them.
I think for many Women , this rings especially true.
