I was reminded of this advice in conversation last night and it tugged at my heart strings all night to share on here with all of you…
I’ll admit when I first heard it myself, it actually made me cringe just a little. Like maybe I had not been doing as good of a job as I thought for those around me…
I hear things every day from people in our agricultural or livestock industries that they want to quit, get out, sell out and move on…
Cheating to win banners has become an unspoken standard.
Being ugly to people outside of our direct group has become an unspoken standard.
Judging others that disagree with us so harshly it hurts to witness has become an unspoken standard.
Acting better than the people around us as if we didn’t all start as beginners has become an unspoken standard.
The list goes on, but I don’t need to name them all. We all know them. We see them. We ignore them because it’s easier than speaking up. We walk by them for fear of being rejected or ostracized by the cool kids club.
I’m here to say that I’m cool with what people will think of me for being a positive promoter within the industry. Life is hard enough already and I truly believe that how you make people feel matters.
I have a platform that allows me to do that and I intend to continue.
If you aren’t part of the solution,
You’re part of the problem.
Once you know better, do better.
