Example

I've spouted this off at various times in my life when I have worked with youth. It goes like this:

"You don't get to choose IF you are an example, you are ALWAYS an example to someone. What you do get to choose is what KIND of example you are. You can choose to lead people to be better or choose to lead people to be lesser. That's what you get to choose. -- ME"

It's been on my mind a lot lately and I thought I'd share it with you.
