"Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing."
— Albert Schweitzer

The way you speak when you’re angry.
What you tolerate when you're tired.
How you handle the boring, the basic, the everyday.
These things don't just shape outcomes — they shape people.

Your kids, your team, your wife — they feel the pattern, even if they never say it out loud.
They adjust to it. Build around it. Repeat it, or run from it.

That’s your culture.
That’s the atmosphere you’re creating — whether you mean to or not.

So ask yourself:
If everyone around me adopted my default mode…
Would I be proud of what that looks like?
