Personality

Those who stand out from the rest by some qualities they possess are called personalities. Personality or character is the set of qualities of a person.

A person is good when they perform good actions, and better if they do so frequently. These repeated works give rise to habits or qualities which, if good, are called virtues. The better person possesses abundant virtues.

Personality or character improves by suppressing bad habits or acquiring good ones. This is achieved through the repetition of acts: Whoever works becomes industrious; whoever steals becomes a thief.

For example, how to perform acts of work if one is lazy? — Human defects are correctable. Sometimes energetic measures will have to be taken. Other times one can begin with small efforts. It will always help to seek assistance.

Changing habits or acquiring a new one requires personal effort. But we also have assistance:

• Asking God for his help, receiving the sacraments, etc. The grace of God improves us from within and strengthens us to act well.
• Surrounding oneself with good friendships. The good example, encouragement and advice of others are a great help.
• Reading and attending formation talks where good habits are recalled, so that it becomes easier to find the right conduct.
