There are few things in life that I think matter. One of them is knowing that somebody is there for you when you’re down, cornered or simply need guidance. I like to say you know who’s got your back when you’re in a jam. In the fire service we call two in two out or don’t leave your partner behind.
Another is knowing that you can count on someone to be upfront and tell you straight. Sometimes we can be short sited and not see the whole picture. It’s always good to have another pair of eyes on the situation. Especially if that someone will listen to you and give you good direction so you can see a little more clearly. Sometimes the brain gets a little smoky from emotions and such. It don’t necessarily make them right but it gives you another set of eyes on the bigger picture.
We can all lead by example. Someone will most likely look to us for direction or have certain expectations of us. We might not have the answers but we can be a rock for them. What I’m saying is stand by your people when they need you and be there for them when you can. Try not to be putting out any junk advice. If you lead by example then don’t lead them into destruction.
If you’ve cultivated someone or a group of people with love and care then let them fly and see what they can do. But, don’t leave your people behind and don’t just give them the tools and let them go. Give them a chance to screw up but hold their hand if necessary. Help them to learn from their mistakes. Listen to them with love and caring and don’t leave them confused and wondering what the FUCK! Excuse my language some words need to be said just so you get my point. I know we can’t be everything to everybody but we can be something to someone.
In the long run we really can only change ourselves. Each one of us can only change what we do and how we behave. Everybody has got to be responsible for the messes they make and the neurotic things they think and do.
Oh well that how it goes but you can be responsible for how you treat others. You can treat them kindly, listen to them, love them, speak peace to them, and be the instrument of opportunity for them.
Remember we are not who we think we are we can only be the best creatures that god has given us the power to be. We don’t have to be nasty we don’t have to be mean and we don’t have to be cruel. But we can be true to one another.
I say all of this with love and experience you can agree or disagree I DON’T MIND one bit that’s just me and it’s what I think.
