Example

Have you every thought of the example you are leaving when you are with others? For myself I wasn’t very aware of many things like this. I was so driven to succeed in life trying to get to the next big thing, get my license so could drive, graduate from High School so I could finally have freedom from my parents, graduate from college so I could start that real job instead of what I was doing currently, see always the next big thing.

Not that this was bad but I wasn’t very conscientious about what kind of example I was leaving. I was so focused on myself and accomplishments that I’m not sure I considered how I was effecting others. I’m not sure when I started being aware of my example, I’m sure it around the time I had kids but I do have a real vivid story of how an example can effect others.

Now let me say that I am not judging or condemning anything anyone else does, this is just a story about me and one of my lessons in life. I am not a person who uses cuss words, now I think I started that when we had kids and they where young and we did want them using those words. So my wife and I helped each other probably her reminding me more then me reminding her. So I kept it up thru out the my life this not using cuss words. So back to my story. When I work I don’t use cuss words in all that I do their. I have come to realize that others around try not to cuss or apologize for doing so. Now that is powerful. So what do you think, can your example be contagious?

Well its time, here we go again, I am done for now. So now its time are you going to “Take it or let it go” you decide. Thanks again for checking in and reading please feel free to comment and until next time, TTFN….. Mark
