Are you one?
Being a good example is showing people what is possible. It means leading the way. It means going the way before you invite other people to join you.
It is about how you live your life. Being a good example is not about your success. It is about your failures.
You are a good example when people are willing to follow you, when you take care of people, when you don’t talk about yourself,when you don’t disrespect other people.
Being a good example is hard. It is very hard to do. That is why some of us don’t do it. But if you can do it, you will never regret it.
The question is, are you a good example? Are people willing to work with you? Are people comfortable when they are with you? Are people telling you things that they can’t tell other people? Do you love people? Are in it for you? Or are you in it for others? How do you treat people? Do you really care about people?
If you are, then you are a good example. Keep it going. Never stop being you. Because that is what being a good example truly means.
You are a good example when you do what you say you are going to do. You are a good example when you live your life with integrity, when you treat other people with love.
You are a good example when you love people, when you forgive other people, even when they don’t deserve it.
You are a good example when you show other people the way, when you work really hard to bring out the best in other people.
The best way to be a good example to others is to first be one to yourself. According to Rowland Hill, ‘We can do more good by being good than in any other way.’
The question is, ‘Are you doing more good?’
