It\u2019s there but you can\u2019t count on it being the same each time you see it. It\u2019ll reach for the sun, but at the first sign of a storm or extreme weather it will bend, break, or wither. Most people\u2019s character can be influenced and manipulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I live life differently. My character is like granite. It is hard, steadfast, and very difficult to move. It angers some because they have not the strength to change it to meet their needs; it brings comfort to others because they know what was, still is, and will be. When you interact with my character you\u2019ll notice it is, period. It doesn\u2019t change; it can be counted on. If you hope life\u2019s storms, events, or your tears, will change it you will be sorely disappointed. My character is dependable and consistent. I am unwavering in my demands and expectations from others as well as my absolute unwavering demands from myself. If I tell you something true today, it will be true tomorrow. If something I say, or a feeling I convey, was true last year why wouldn\u2019t it be true today or true tomorrow?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My character is constant, my character cannot be influenced, and my character will always be rock solid truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/daveorhelen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dave-signature.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"101\" src=\"https:\/\/daveorhelen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dave-signature.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daveorhelen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dave-signature.jpg 240w, https:\/\/daveorhelen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/dave-signature-150x63.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most people\u2019s character is like a tall blade of grass; it often moves whichever way the wind blows.
