By refusing to give up when life’s circumstances conspire against us, we powerfully model the value of perseverance.
Who is watching when you go through hard times in life?
How can you inspire them by the way you act?
What will they learn by watching you?
In 2002, I went through a life-changing leadership training program. During the five weeks I spent in this program, I was made aware that as a leader, one is always “on stage,” so to speak. Meaning, someone is always watching. Think of yourself as a role model, because you are influencing others around you about how to behave in certain situations.
So, will you teach them to persevere? Or to give up when times get tough?
You get to choose. I hope you choose wisely.
