Well, character has to do with internal strength.

1. What is Character Development?
We were often told that we had to develop our characters as children. Did anybody understand this
phrase at that age? It can be difficult to understand it, even at our current age. Developing
character? What does that mean, exactly?
Well, character has to do with internal strength. It has to do with developing emotional muscles and
mental muscles and, to some degree, physical muscles with which to hold up our burdens on this
earth. Without a set of each of these muscle types, well developed, we are ill equipped to deal with
life very successfully at all.
Character development involves exercising these emotional and mental muscles so that you can
become a well balanced, confident, eager, joy-filled person. As children, we do not necessarily
understand this concept called character development, even if we feel ourselves acquiring it
through made, kept and broken friendships.
Character is very important to keep people within prescribed social limits so that they do not
bulldoze over everyone else or do not make unwanted sexual or risky advances. Character is also
necessary for recognizing a need to make amends and for actually making them and following
through on apologies and for making people feel better, even if they weren’t the offender, after
their feelings have been hurt.
Character is required to keep your head above the water when bad things happen in your life and
when you feel the need to indulge in drugs or alcohol. Character is first and foremost about the
beauty that comes from building internal strength instead of an external façade. Mediscreen is
