There are no limits to the pursuit of character development when it comes to improving your physical, spiritual, mental, and relational acuity. When the future seems uncertain, setting personal character goals can effectively make your path clear moving forward, and prepare you for the unexpected challenges ahead. Properly listing your action plan for achieving various goals (List; Identify; People-involved; Support; Reward) will act as the framework for successfully becoming a well-rounded person.
