omotinyInspires Corner: Loyalty
Loyalty is a word that I have been in love with for so long
now...anytime the word crosses my mind; I remember how it was growing up with
my four sisters, my brother and my mother. The ceaseless chatter, the
bickering, the fights, the headache of division of chores. In fact you could
say it was chaotic some of the time. But in all, the love that bonded us
together was unbelievable. The way our mother brought us up was to be loyal
above all to each other. We were one unit all the time...even when we were not
all living under the same roof, we were always one.
Have you experienced that feeling of knowing, that someone
is loyal to you? Whether good or bad
you've got that person's support, and that support is complete, constant and
unswerving. I can assure you the feeling is heaven. Do you have people you are
loyal to...say, to your family, your beliefs, a cause or to your friends.
The thing about loyalty is, it is inspired in our hearts
towards something or someone because of a deep or vital knowledge about that
person or thing. That knowledge comes through communication, transparency and
trueness. When people know you for real and trust you and that knowledge of you
makes them comfortable...before you know it...you begin to see them
demonstrating loyalty to you.
Don’t be like those people who trust no one, love no one, and
believe in no one, like no one. Don’t be like that! Be somebody! Be deep, be
loyal to your family, be loyal to your church, be true, be transparent....have
no skeletons in your cupboard, live, love and laugh simply. Life is a lot more
fun when we are that way!
Wow! I have loved sharing with you today...share with me
your thoughts too!
Inspire.
