Your Reputation

Reputation is superficial, subjective, and valuable. There is a right and wrong way to manage your reputation.

Making your reputation the first priority is for 7th graders.

To get it right, you have to look upstream. Ultimately, the sum of all your decisions makes up your character. If you make repeated bad decisions, your character is negatively affected. Your reputation is the lagging indicator of your character.

If you decide right, you don’t have to worry about your reputation. Some bad decisions have irreversible consequences. Mind your decisions and course correct when you make the wrong ones.

Pro Tip: If you’re right with God, your reputation is irrelevant.

Quick Confession: The older I get, the more I judge others​... mainly their decisions. You’d think that as I grow wiser, I would judge less, but the opposite is true. I see idiots everywhere (usually in 4x with surround sound). I need to mind my own business, God help me.
