I thought About Quiting But Then I Noticed Who Was Watching

I thought about quitting but then I noticed who was watching. I’m not going to lie this has been a huge thing in my life. Some days I need motivation. I don’t always want to stay up and write a blog post.

I thought about just not going to work at the summer camp even up until the day of me leaving. But I knew not only would I regret it, but to the people who helped me get the job and who hired me it would ruin my image to them unless I had a really good excuse and I didn’t have that excuse. So I showed up and honestly, it has been the best decision for my summer.

That is an example of people I respect and look up to watching me but there are other people who are watching. Particularly smaller people. Look someone will always be paying attention who you think no one is looking. So what you do when you think no one is looking are the things that matter the most. When you think no one is looking and you pick up that candy wrapper someone dropped, do it anyway. Because you could be right but what if your wrong and someone watches you walk right past it. Then you just showed a bad example.

I am reminded of scouts. I am an American Heritage Girl. I was awarded the Stars and Stripes award. I have spent a lot of time leading younger girls in my troop and watching them grow up. But I’ve had a few of the moms of the younger girls come up to me and tell me how much the littles look up to the older girls. It surprised me. I never really had older girls to look up to in scouts my mom and a few of her friends started the troop and I was the first one in my troop to get the highest award. But every once in a while an adult will say out loud how much our example means to them and I realize that those little girls are watching how I lead every time I walk into the room. I realized if I do something stupid and make a mistake because the little first through even sixth graders are watching me they are going to think it’s alright and I can’t let that happen when I know what is right and what’s wrong.

So yeah I thought about giving up but then I remember who is watching and know I can’t. Oh and don’t even get me started on the haters because they’re watching you too. Because they re jealous they want what you have. They gave up on their own dreams and now they want to try to make you fail. They watch you the closest. It’s your job to prove them wrong. If you give up then they win. Don’t let them win they don’t deserve it. They won’t understand not many people will but knowing you didn’t give up when it would have been so easy to do so is a big reward on its own. Plus seeing the look on someone’s face when you do something they didn’t think you could ever do is the best. So who is watching you?
