These are just a few words that I have been thinking about lately. I try to live my life the best that I can. I hold myself to a high standard and expect to be the example to those around me. These are also just a few "actions" that I try to exhibit everyday and I expect others to exhibit them as well. Is this demanding of me? I don't know. I hope not. I hope that it helps me to strive to be a better all-around person. I hope that it helps others be better as well.
