Maximum Impact or...just a demographic?

If you don't know who you are, how can you have powerful, maximum impact on others?

To have maximum impact in your life, for your family, on the job, in the world... Know thyself!

There is something interesting to consider as you think about who you are. Your identity is the sum total of your experiences, your upbringing, your demographic...

...or is it?

What does being white or black or yellow have to do with who you really are? What does your income have to do with anything?

If you had to bring your car to a mechanic, and needed to get the job done right, would you need to know the shade of the mechanic's skin pigment? If you were choking at a restaurant, would you deny the assistance of someone who could help to look for another of a similar age or sexual orientation?

Give me a break. At the end of the day, what we each care about is who someone is in terms of the quality of person they are...and what we can count on them for -not where they grew up or how they pray!

You want to have maximum impact to include personal fulfillment in every area of life...? Get over your pride or pity about your demographic and be the man or woman you were born to be. Decide who you are and live it.

Bye Now,

RR
