Set an example

We had a couple of little side discussions yesterday about the Dedication blog.

The hot topic that came up related to that is to set a good example. When you dedicate yourself to something and are frequently observed being or doing something diametrically opposed to your "dedication", your so called dedication looks false.

 In other words, if you proclaim to be a practicing Catholic, participate and assist in all church activities and religious functions, and then are seen at the local abortion clinic with Pro choice signs......

That is an extreme example and most likely wouldn't happen, although I have seen stranger things. The idea is to uphold the reputation of the group. To not tarnish it in any way. To be truly dedicated to it. When you are part of a group, your actions are seen as approved by the group. You may not care what people think about you, but you need to care about how that reflects on the group. Think about all the senators out there who have been literally caught with their pants down. They are forced to resign.

When you are dedicated, set an example to let others see what that dedication entails. When there is an example of blatant disregard for the group's goals, mission and reputation, you will eventually find yourself on the outside of that group. You can't be dedicated to one thing, and also dedicated to something that is totally opposite in nature.

A fellow reader gave the example of being someone who calls themselves a lightworker, and then tells clients that they have a darkness around them that needs to be removed...for a tidy sum. There are some that not only do this, but firmly believe they are doing the right thing. Can they find some bad energy in places, sure,but there is not a curse on every person that is having a bad day.

Do things the right way and you will NEVER come up against anything bigger than you. You won't have a life filled with issues and obstacles. You won't have to answer for actions that were ill advised.

When people do serious disservice to me, or try to harm me in any way....they no longer exist. I have found that trying to be all smiles and huggy to people who were doing you wrong, only resulted in more wrongs done (you would think I could have figured that out). By shutting out the rare individual who has so blatantly and repeatedly stepped over the line, I have had more positive and wonderful people come to me. Once that harmful person and their energy is removed, people with positive energy are more comfortable coming in. Like will attracts like, and will bring more and more valuable, people to you. Sometimes there are less people , but the high quality of people around you will keep you out of drama and in good company.

Do the right things for the right reasons.
