On this week’s episode, I answer a listener question on finding role models when none are present in your life.

 

If you’re having a hard time finding role models, then you’re already on the right track because you’ve identified the need to seek out others.

 

How do you find somebody to be mentored by?

  • Get biographies and read about people.
  • You will learn from their great decisions and mistakes.
  • Compare and contrast what you’re reading with what you’re seeing around you.

 

I urge you to take notes on people.

  • Observe the people you see in your community or even when you travel.
  • Take note of how others treat people and the reactions they get back.
  • Take note of body language and actions. There is so much you can learn from observing all kinds of people.

    To some, I suppose, today is an extra “day off” on the calendar or a starting point for the summer.   For you and I, however, it is a day of memorial, a day to remember those who gave everything—their last full measure—in order that we in America might live…

    This morning, I am thinking about a “letter to the editor” that I cut from our local newspaper on June 10, 2010. It’s been years, but it described history that should be remembered. Today, I’m also thinking about our upcoming holiday. .
