Title: Squandered opportunity
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. – Romans 12:10
A good friend (and a fantastic leader) is fond of saying, “Great leaders establish other leaders.” The most influential people I know have used their platform to encourage, celebrate, and give opportunities to those others.
That is the opportunity we have with one another. Too often, we squander that opportunity by cracking jokes and poking fun at one another. While this can be fun, it misses the chance for the greater good.
The next time you are with a friend and spouse or sphere of influence, highlight his character and the good qualities he exhibits. Honor him in front of others.
Real Men honor one another in front of one another.
