Brick by brick

We are all building a wall brick by brick.

The wall is our brand, our identity, our reputation, our logo, our essence. It’s what others think of when they hear your name.

The bricks we build with are:

• every conversation we have
• every blog we post
• every letter we write
• every decision we make
• every word we say
• every phone call we make
• every email we send
• every Facebook status we update
• every book we write
• every meal we cook
• every time we lose our temper
• every time we take the time to listen
• every time we think first and then speak
• every time we give instead of take
• every time we build up instead of tear down

Every single thing we do becomes a brick in the wall that is us. We are building our reputation (what we are known for) with every action we take and every decision we make every single day.

How is your wall coming along? Is it level and square and strong and straight?

No one else will build your wall for you. You build it yourself, by yourself.

If your wall isn’t what you believe it should be, don’t blame someone else or blame the circumstances but rather be brave enough to change the kind of bricks you’re using.
