stepping stone four Reputation

Often, many people don’t understand how important a reputation is in life and to society.  Nor, is it fully understood in how one establishes a reputation.

*A reputation is how others perceive you as a person*

Throughout life you make many choices and decisions. If you seem to be surrounded by the known “drug heads” or those who in fact do drugs, you will be perceived as such, simply by association. Although, if you are seen always attending church, helping others “when or when not asked”, employed, honest, and as someone with self morals and standards, you will be seen as an, Honest Hard Working Individual.  There is more than one type of reputation. Either way you will be viewed in life as something.

*Family Reputation and Self Reputation*

You will be viewed for many years based upon your Family Reputation. For, this is what your family, as a whole, “normally by the last name in which goes by the fathers’ side”, is known for good or bad! Such as, if your “last name” is known for fighting, “even before your born” people will be saying, “That child is going to be a hell raiser.”  Which evidently isn’t true, for just because your “family” is known for “fighting” doesn’t mean you will nor do you have to live up to this.

As, you grow to an adult, yes the family reputation will remain,” but now you are making decisions on your own, If you decide to do drugs, you will be

known as, a drug addict, if you surround yourself with this, even if you don’t do it, still your will be known for a drug addict. If you go to school/work, and have positive surrounding, you will be known as such.

*Your Reputation hold Great Power in Your Life*

When you go and apply for a job, especially if you live in a small town, and you don’t have the best reputation you can count on you not receiving the position. They do not want someone known as a, drug addict, working for them as it will make their company look bad. They are looking for strong, self-propelled indivisible, able-body, whom is honest and reliable to be working representing their company. Even though, you may no longer be just that it is hard work, time, and much patients, in changing peoples’ way of thinking.

          Yes, for many days to come, even years for some choices made, you will face this, but you much rebuild your reputation. What this means is if you continue to stay on the right path and choosing the positive over the negative you can become who you want. You will become proud of yourself and others then will become proud of you and begin trusting in giving you a chance.

This does not and will not happen quickly, but one must keep up the hard work and results will show themselves.  Your rebuilt reputation, is who you become and yes your “old” reputation lingers in the past Leave it there, this is where it belongs for that is no longer you.
