Keep Watch

I heard a Quote a while ago and It has stuck with me : We teach what we need most!

POWERFUL I think... How often do we rant and rail about things. Preach and teach things. Nag and Complain about things....and these things we do, need, or can't see that we are. Check SELF is Important because what we teach, preach, or speak we are accountable for and are responsible for....



The reason we are preaching or teaching something often has its roots in AWARENESS. We can see it!!! It is in our view. It is bugging our senses. It is on the radar. IT may be a mirror, a clue, a clip of what we do. We must keep watch.



I came to the realization that when I rant and rail, nag or complain, or give advise or suggestion I am preaching and/or teaching ...WHY??

Because I am an example and so are you. To my children and anyone who watches what I do ...friend or foe.



If you find yourself trying to PROVE something to someone....KEEP WATCH on what you are saying...it very well may be that if you take a look at yourself you will find that what you are teaching is what you need most!
