Character – Activity: Who are your heroes?
Identifying your heroes can point you in the direction of purpose, and give you insight into the character that you want to develop. Think of people you have great respect for; they may be famous, or people you know. They may be real people or characters from books or movies, from the present or the past. They may be athletes, politicians, musicians, artists, peace seekers, or simply brilliant. What are the qualities they possess that you admire?
