Who do you Think you Are?

Who do you want your kids to think you are? Your friends? Your colleagues?

Are you living in alignment with these beliefs?

What types of decisions does this person make everyday? How does this person treat their body, their mind? How does this person show their love to others, their grief, their joy?

When they are faced with conflict, how is this person is reacting?

When they are stepping up to a challenge, how does this person persevere?

When they are overflowing with excitement, how does this person show joy?

When they are overcome with grief, how does this person cope?

Think about who is watching you, are you teaching them what it means to be human? What type of human?

The thing is, it is not just the big things, the huge moments, the unforgettable trials.

No, it is much harder than that.

It is the small moments, all the little facial expressions, nuances, daily decisions that add up over time. This is who you are.

It’s holding the door for another, the warm smile as you pass someone on the street, the empathy for an upset child, the healthy choice at the restaurant, the offer to help with homework, the walk after dinner.

Think about the small moments. Point out your positive small moments, that lead you in the direction of the person you want to be.

And point out the moments that lead you away.

Choose just one small choice every day that leads you away, and reroute that moment!
