003A. How to Build Character: The Process of Personal Development

Surviving Humanity: A Self-Help Podcast

Key Quote:
"The path one must take to return to their authentic self and then build their character from there is not an easy one. But it is invaluable." - Wesley Jackson
Episode Summary:
• Wesley Jackson details a conflict he had within himself from childhood until now, which stemmed from trauma and caused him to feel that much of his life has been robbed from him.
• To move forward and resolve this, he began to revisit who he is, build back his character and practice self-compassion.
• To do this, he gained insight from books and therapies; he identified negative thinking patterns and transformed the way he thought; and he experienced an increase in self-confidence and a decrease in anxiety.
• The lesson is that building character is not easy but invaluable; it starts with listening to oneself without judgement; and having control over one's own story & power.
