I respected and wise mentor and coach I am privileged to know recently modified a poem called A Hero’s Creed By Carl Morris…
The works speak to me personally and professionally. Sometimes “taking the high-road” seems impossible and maintaining that path thankless…the payoff is not often immediate but traveling high-road always delivers in the end. Peaceful journeys to all in 2012…
Did I help someone to realize a dream they thought they’d lost?
Did I listen when someone told me the reward is worth the cost?
Did I praise someone for their efforts and encourage someone toward their dreams?
Did I help someone to understand the end never justifies the means?
Did I make someone laugh and smile when they would much rather frown?
Was I the one who picked them up when everyone put them down?
Am I the one they confide in and know their conversation is secure?
Did I provide them with someone to trust in knowing their friendship will always endure?
Am I humble and constantly striving to become more than I was yesterday?
Did I focus on the successes of others and follow through with all I say?
If I constantly strive to become the one who can say “I did” to the “did I’s” ?.
Then my life is fulfilled, I have achieved a great prize.
In 2012, let me hold myself accountable and ask ……….Did I?
