Lead by Example

Leading by example is not only the best way to live, it is the ONLY way to live.

Our lives are full of those who do things by half measures. Go above and beyond- if for nothing else just so no one can ever consider you as one who fell behind. Pride may be a sin, but then, I've always been a sinner...

I have no illusions. I hope that the ones I love (and you know who you are) learn from my victories. But I hope to hell they learn more from my mistakes. I can only try and learn from them too and try not to compromise too much.

I have always thought I knew everything, but the older I get, the more I know I never realized. Lead when you can, as much as you can- when you KNOW you are doing the right things. You will do the wrong things plenty of times, but it's not a mystery when you do what you know you are supposed to do...
