Whether you think so or not...
What people think of you matters, and is reflected in every single area of your life.
The opportunities you have...
The money you make...
The relationships you build...
The impact you have...
All of these things will be influenced by the story that's told about you when you're not around.
The good news is this...
You control the story that's told.
But the only way to control that story is by being a living example of the story you'd like to be told about you.
Are you living to a standard of excellence and giving everyone you meet a reason to tell an overwhelmingly positive story about you?
Or are you living to a low standard and spreading a story that's indifferent or negative?
The outcome of your life will be a direct reflection of that story...
Good or bad.
Control it.
