The late Stephen Covey said, “Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic.”
What powerful words! What powerful mandates! What powerful images!
I wonder what might happen if, for a single day, each one of us took this challenge to heart? I wonder!
Instead of passing judgement we share insight! Instead of criticizing we offer encouragement! Instead of hiding we show up! Instead of putting down we lift up! Instead of frowning we smile!
Instead of . . . you get the picture! Be a light! Be a model!
I don’t know about you but I’m game! Today I commit myself to share more of the light within. I choose to model treating others with dignity and respect!
October is National Bullying Prevention Month! What better time to put into practice the wisdom shared by Mr. Covey!
Won’t you join me?
Peace!
