Finding Yourself Through Purpose • Step 10 of 12
Three Tests of Character
Set aside 20–30 minutes. This worksheet invites honest self-reflection rather than perfect answers. You do not need to disclose private experiences to anyone else.
1. When Life Disappointed You
Recall a situation when something important did not go according to plan.
2. When Your Character Was Challenged
Recall a situation involving fear, anger, betrayal, criticism, or a difficult ethical choice.
3. When You Had an Opportunity to Contribute
Recall a moment when you could help someone, act honestly, or accept responsibility.
4. My Personal Conclusion
Complete this thought: When life tests me again, I want to become someone who… Describe the values and actions you want to practice.
Remember: Not every hardship is chosen, deserved, or within your control. The exercise is about finding constructive choices where choices remain possible.
