What an interesting topic for this week's edition! Last week, we wrote about the factors we consider before taking a person as our role model, and today, the reverse is the case馃
Wow, do I possess some traits Worthy of emulation? Of course, I do. I am an imperfect being, striving to live and impact my generation positively. I have not gotten anywhere, but I can see some little progress. I have my bad sides but one can emulate some good traits I possess. The attributes that make me stand out!! Find out! You might want to emulate one or two and I will be honored to be someone's role model 鉂わ笍
One of the attributes I possess is RESPECT. Whether you are older than me or I am older than you, I try to give everyone his or her respect. I feel everyone is unique and deserves some respect. I don't look down on people no matter their status. I don't force anyone to do what is not her choice even if I have the authority to command that person except if it's a compulsory issue. I also believe that I can learn anything from my younger ones and there is where humility comes in. Yes, I am humble, I lower myself most times and accommodate everyone around me. I try to make people around me feel at home no matter the age difference, this has helped me learn a lot from my junior ones. Everyone has different endowments and I believe with humility, one can easily learn from each other.
Contentment is another trait I possess. I believe that I am not in competition with anybody. I am content with what I have and I wouldn't do anything stupid just to catch up with others.
Forgiveness is another interesting trait I possess. Yes as humans, we can offend people likewise people offend us, and no matter the gravity of an offense, I try to forgive so easily. I try to make every effort to be at peace 馃晩锔忦煏婏笍 with all people. Times, if I wait for the offender to apologize without him or her coming around, I go myself seeking peace. I will do the apology on the person's behalf, an example is my husband.
I am success driven馃憣. This is where determination comes in. whatever I set my mind to achieve, I apply determination and commitment to that. I follow my goals until I achieve them, even when excuses set in, I try to remain focused!
The fear of God is not exempted! I am a kingdom addict. I believe that whatever I am today is through God's help and whatever I am doing or set to do can only be possible through the help of God. I don't joke with my Christian life and I also try to influence people around me to love God as I do.
Integrity is another virtue I hold in high esteem. A good name is better than silver or gold.
Sometimes especially on my birthdays, I usually tell my friends to tell me the raw Truth about whom they think I am, sincerely the review hasn't been bad, and I try to make amends for my bad sides.
In summary, some people are looking up to you as their role model, so we must become more self-conscious.
This post is in response to the #hivelearners community contest week 31 edition 3 topic titled REVERSE ROLE MODEL.
