Often times we get so caught up in trying to impress others that we lose sight on who we really are, of our genuine self. We spend way too much time and energy trying to impress those people whose opinion doesn't matter to us anyway. My philosophy is that if you are not paying my bills, supplying my food or one of my parental units, my sibling or family member your opinion has no weight in my world.
How far do we go to impress someone? What are we really doing? It is true that actions speak louder than words..it is not what people hear you say it is what they see you do. As parents, we should be cautious of our behavior because children will mock the behavior that they see. That same mentality can be applied for anyone in any situation. Many of us are role models, examples, heros, and mentors and don't even realize it. There is always somebody watching, taking note of our actions. Most of the time we don't even think about it. What kind of impression is really being made? Are our actions reflective of the words we speak? When we think nobody is looking does our behavior change?
We should strive to always do our best and do the right thing. Our actions are influential to the circumstances and people that surround us. Just think if we put as much time, energy and effort into ourselves as we do trying to impress others. I like to say if you are going to invest, why not invest in yourself.
Our lives are nothing but a stage play, and we are the main characters. Each performance should be better than the last. The world is our audience and in it there will be critics. We just have to work hard at always do the right thing. After all, we never know who is watching.
