The reflection for today’s tap along is, “Help me to remember that my words and actions serve as a model for others, even when that is not my specific intention.”
We are not responsible for what others think, feel, and do, but our words and actions do impact those around us. It is good to remember that our actions help to guide the thoughts, words, and actions of other people.

I am not responsible for the choices of others…I am not responsible for others’ actions…I am not responsible for the thoughts of others…But I do impact those around me…In the words I say…In the actions I take…There are times I do this publicly…Where I take a stand to intentionally be a model…It’s good to encourage others…And to push others…To see things differently…And to think in new ways…But I do this more than just when I do it publicly…I do this more than when I do it just intentionally…It happens all the time…In my thoughts and words…Even when I think I’m not being public…I am being noticed…It’s good I take responsibility…For how my words and actions impact others…Even when I don’t think I’m being noticed…My words and actions impact others…And I define who I want to be…Through my words and actions…It’s important to remember that all of my actions…Not just my public actions…Are impacting others…And it’s good I take responsibility for them…
Wonderful! Another example of taking personal responsibility, with tools to do so.
Thank you Gene.
