HOW are you being WHO you are being?

We each play many roles in life. We, depending on the situation will play the role of Parent, Mother or Father. We play the role of Sibling, Brother or Sister. We play the role of Spouse, Lover, Protector and Provider. We play the role of Employee or Employer, of Citizen and Community member. We play the role of Friend, Confidant and Comforter. These are just a few of the many roles that we play throughout our lives. Each role is interconnected and the way that we play each one affects the way that we play the others.

There are 2 things that are vital to our success. 1 that we play the right role and 2 that we play it the right way.

1. That we play the Right role at the Right time with the Right person.

We have to have the intelligence and sensitivity to be able to read the situation and adjust our behaviour accordingly. There are times that in one role we have to bring in different roles. For example as Parent you will play the role of Friend, Confidant, Disciplinarian, Consultant, Instructor, Provider and Protector. There are time when you will have to say No. There are times when you will have to comfort a broken heart. There are times when you will teach new skills. There are times when you will insist on skills being applied.

Always take the time to evaluate the situation and to ensure that you are playing the right role at the right time with the right person.

2. That we play the right role at the right time with the right person in the Right way.

Take the time to evaluate HOW you are behaving in the role that you are playing. HOW you are WHO you are is much more important than WHO you are, because "By your Behaviour we will know you!" Is your behaviour appropriate to the role that you are playing.

Lets say that you are in the role of employee and you get to work late, or when you are at work you don't get to work, you don't do your work properly. This is entirely inappropriate behaviour for the role that you are playing. (Here's a valuable exercise for you. Take what ever role you are playing right now and describe how you believe it should be played. How would someone who was great at it play this role? Now evaluate your performance against this description.)

Always take the time to identify the role that you are playing and then evaluate how you are playing that role. Are you being who you need to be in this situation and are you behaving appropriately for the role that you are playing.

Life is too important to be taken for granted and the consequences of our actions have far reaching implications for ourselves and for others. It is our responsibility to monitor HOW we are being WHO we are being and, if necessary, to adjust our behaviour to ensure that we are being true to the role we are playing and to ensure that the consequences of our behaviour are positive.

So from today strive to be the BEST you that you can be and make sure that the you that you are is the you that you should be.
