Yardstick of Success
We are reminded by one of our former first ladies that “..the most important yardstick of our success is how we treat others.” B. BUSH
Our daily actions and choices define who we really are. We may accomplish BIG things but at the end of our lives how we have behaved in our daily lives is what becomes our legacy. The awareness of this truth is a solid life skill for us and keeps us in integrity with our core values. It seems to me that so many in our society want to think well of people because they have an incredible talent. It appears that they discount how they have treated others. I have someone I love very much in prison. They are guilty. The sentence seems harsh since no one was hurt physically. I have learned that the way I treat myself during this time, the way I treat the prisoner and others who are involved will define my character and say more about me than any other experience I have had in my life time. It has become quite a yardstick for me.
