Exactly! Your character is how you react during stressful situations. It’s easy to be kind and patient when everything is going well. When conditions are perfect.
But how do you respond when you’re stuck in traffic? Do you get road rage or sit back and enjoy the extra minutes of peace?
How do you respond when the coffee barista is rude to you? Do you still treat her kindly or give her an attitude?
How do you respond when your client pays you late? Do you lash out in anger at him or send a respectable message to remind him of your invoice?
How do you respond when your client fires you? Do you get stuck in a victim mentality or start looking for another one?
You see… It’s during these moments your true character shines through.
