Do you remember Scarlett in Gone With the Wind (the novel more so than the film)? She endlessly wanted to be a Great Lady like her mother. But not yet.
Being a "great lady" meant being patient, kind and all sorts of things that are hard work. Scarlett wanted to live before becoming more like Melly and her mother.
In books, TV and film, characters are often portrayed as good or bad.
In shows like Buffy, Angel would suddenly switch from good to evil and it could have been life threatening for Buffy. Georgina (Buffy's Michelle Trachtenburg) in Gossip Girl seems to have a similarly On/Off switch for her entire personality.
I remember watching Dr Quinn and loving the way that different characters were likeable and unlikeable eopisode to episode. The "good" ones made mistakes and even the violent, awful ones had some redeeming qualities.
In real life, though, we make our choices moment by moment.
Whether to be honest and face the consequences or tell that little lie for convenience.
To be honest with our accounts or expenses rather than including something that doesn't belong there.
How can you make daily decisions that help you become the person you want to be?
