No More Stress

“Act with honor. We need more people who can say ‘follow my example.’” – Dale Partridge

I was interviewing bestselling author Dale Partridge on my Live Inspired Podcast when he said this quote. I was blown away by its simplicity and its power.

Dale was discussing significant professional and personal challenges he faced years ago when I asked how he had journeyed from that place to become the happy, balanced and successful entrepreneur, husband and father he is today.

His answer: Act with honor. Be an example for others.

My friend, when life gets overwhelming. The goal too lofty. The challenge too intense. The diagnosis not so good. The friend not so loyal… I challenge you to take Dale’s advice, and ask yourself: What is the honorable thing to do in this moment?

It will give you the “next step to take” when life seems overwhelming. When you choose to act with honor in the hardest of times, it will be a habit in the good times, too.

And you know what that will make you? A good example.

Today is your day. Live Inspired.
