Your “personal infrastructure” consists of the virtues that make you who and what you are. The sum total of your virtues is what gives character to your soul. A strong personal infrastructure is the foundation for actions that lead to positive results. A weak personal infrastructure is the foundation for actions that lead to negative results.

How others perceive you may sometimes have a negative impact on your life, but it cannot affect who and what you really are. That is solely determined by what goes on inside your mind, which, in turn, is totally controlled by you. Never give up that control to anyone else. It’s critical to protect that most sacred of all human sanctuaries at all costs.
