There’s a purpose and reason to everything you do. A lot of times we stop at the surface level without digging down deep to the real reasons. But if you ask the question “why?” enough times in a row, you will eventually reach the real reasons you do things. And you might find your real reason revolves around faith. Let’s explore.
This post is part of a 14 part series on How to Be a Better Person. I’ve also super-duper fancied this group of posts up into an Amazon Kindle book. Check it out: Forget Perfect, Just Be Better: 101 Simple Ways to Grow in Relationships, at Work, in Life, and Through God.
1) Be Strong, Be a Role Model
You know those really energetic and friendly waiters at your favorite restaurant? They always seem to have a great time and not worry about what others are thinking. Well, okay, they probably have good service and tips in mind, but not much stops their personality from shining through. They have the gumption to get stuff done in their own flavor. They choose to act. How do you choose to act in your own job?
Too often we shy away from sharing our real personality and feelings as a wall to protect our most sensitive insides. Not many folks can take an attack on their core values without feeling offended. But what if you could stay strong no matter what? What if you could be that shining role model that did the right thing in tough times? What would the right kind of people say?
Just Be Better: We have it easy in America. We can show our faith openly without anyone attacking us. Other countries don’t have it so easy. The problem is we don’t do it enough. Publicly give thanks for your meals. It will feel weird at first, but it’s worth it. The trick is to pay attention to who you’re really talking to.
Don’t try to change the world; set the example.
