We all have visions of the person we want to be. We gain that vision by witnessing the good in others and experiencing the desires we feel when we see someone we want to be like.
As I think of the many good and wonderful people I want to highlight the traits and behaviors I want to emulate.
- That guy who rarely talks about himself, asks lots of questions, and listens/responds with positivity
- That guy who puts together great food and great gatherings
- That woman who creates the most warm, welcoming, and positive places
- That woman who wears clothes that it her personality and comfort level with style
- That woman who brings good cheer and loves to have a great time
- That man who reads a lot and uses his knowledge to enrich the his own life and the lives around him
- That man who lives simply and only chooses a few good items to own
- That individual who designs and grows beautiful, nutritious gardens
- That woman who meets grave challenges with truth, honesty, courage, grace, and love
- That man who enlivens every party and gathering with earnest good cheer, gratitude, and levity
- That man who always asks, "How can I help? What can I do?"
- That man that faces challenge with humility, positivity, grace, and patience.
- That man who can turn any place into a beautiful, welcoming, inspiring place.
- That child who brings light and joy to every event.
- That woman who invests significant caring time and energy into enriching the lives around her
- That man who observes the world around him with depth and learns from that observation
- That woman who is willing to learn about the challenges she faces and use that knowledge to overcome those challenges
- That man who knows himself well and makes good choices for his life based on that reflection and knowledge
- That man who chooses good times for self and others

- Those woman and men who have a positive vision for themselves and others

We learn from the people around us. We learn via conversation and observation. We use what we know to create vision for our own lives. This is good.
