Our Neighbor...

 

Our neighbor goes for a walk every morning. He waves enthusiastically to everyone he sees. His smile goes from ear to ear. He carries a big bag of treats for all the dogs he meets. He doesn't even own a dog.

Our neighbor knows attitude is everything. He always picks a good one.

Our neighbor goes to the local grocery store every Saturday morning. He knows all the bakery employees. He buys donuts for all the kids who are shopping with their parents. Every one...without exception.

Our neighbor knows all too well that tomorrow is not promised. His wife passed away last year. While caring for her he still found time to give to others.

Our neighbor knows the power of effort. He shows that effort given to others rewards everyone involved.

Our neighbors attitude & effort come back to him. His neighbors in turn give of themselves. They help with chores, yard work, etc.

Our neighbor has taught countless people lessons in leadership. Through him others have learned that real leaders serve others. Through him others have learned that our behaviors matter.

Our neighbor knows that attitude & effort reflect leadership. They do so through authenticity & consistency.

Our neighbor has influence. He is using his to lead.

Be a good neighbor.
