As a long time fan of the marvelous children’s book, The Velveteen Rabbit, I have become a student of what it means to be REAL! I have discovered that there are certain “Hallmarks” of “Real People.” Here they are:
“Real” People:
- Exhibit Courage
- Practice Honesty
- Embrace Pain
- Promote Flexibility
- Act Ethically
- Seek Solutions
Wouldn’t it be great if we could find more “Real” in our politicians, our business execs, our educators, our mentors, our friends, our families, our… SELVES?
Think about it, won’t you? Get some more REAL in your life!
Peace!
