		<description><![CDATA[Overstating the obvious may be tedious but in this case it&#8217;s simply impossible to overstate the need for character at every level of life and leadership in our nation.   School teachers , attorneys, ministers, politicians, bankers,  entertainers, athletes, coaches, business owners, employees, and each of us as individual citizens&#8230; name the category and the need for character is clear.

		<description><![CDATA[Ron White says, &#8220;You can&#8217;t fix stupid.&#8221;  That may or may not be true, but I&#8217;m certain any individual, group or organization can employ one simple discipline to help minimize the visible and consequential presence of &#8220;stupid&#8221; in life.  The one step that is so amazingly and frequently overlooked is asking others for honest feedback on [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rickloy.wordpress.com&blog=1569529&post=18&subd=rickloy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It feels like at least half of the HEADLINE news today draws attention to the public exposure of the &#8221;rich and famous&#8221; and their behavior.  Some of it is bizarre, some &#8220;funny&#8221; in a sad way, and some simply boggles the mind.  Yet, for those of us not &#8220;rich and famous&#8221; there is value in these stories [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rickloy.wordpress.com&blog=1569529&post=11&subd=rickloy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently had to confront the man in the mirror over an inconsistency I&#8217;d seen in him.   He had encountered a human behaving in a way that was unjust, untoward, deceitful, manipulative and presumptious.  He felt great anger and indignation over what he saw, and decided to confront this human.  Now, mind you, the man [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rickloy.wordpress.com&blog=1569529&post=7&subd=rickloy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m old enough to remember all the attention given to &#8220;values clarification&#8221;.  It&#8217;s a useful exercise for individuals, groups and companies.  But I find there&#8217;s something even more fundamental that merits careful &#8211; albeit sometimes painful &#8211; clarification: my motives.  Why am I doing what I am doing?  I can profess all kinds of values in public [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rickloy.wordpress.com&blog=1569529&post=5&subd=rickloy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Am I better today than I was one year ago?  Which positive character traits have deepened / improved?  What destructive thoughts /  behaviors / habits have been replaced by productive ones?  What books have been read?  What contributions have been made to the lives of others?  Is my personal growth definable, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rickloy.wordpress.com&blog=1569529&post=1&subd=rickloy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
