Respect and Character

A lot of people seem to believe that respect is a right, something they are entitled to upon birth.

Instead, we need to recognize that respect is something you earn because of your CHARACTER.

I think, also , that we tend to confuse respect with fear. 

Power, position, stuff, bling, toys-- these are the sources from which too many guys think respect come from. 

A generation or two ago, we respected honesty, being a good provider for your family, being involved in civic organizations and church, or being a good worker in any honest occupation.

I still believe deep down that is what people still ultimately DO respect.

Stay true to yourself, work hard, speak the truth and stay away from the gossip and the negative.

Do not worry about STUFF or positions or titles ...FAMILY MATTERS..CHARACTER COUNTS.
