As I sat watching the season finale of "Parks and Recreation" (yes, I do enjoy this show a lot), it was mentioned by one of the characters, that won't be returning, how wonderful the heart of the main character is. The exact quote was, "If everyone in government cared as much as you, I would probably still be working in the government".
This reminded me of something I was told before leaving the Dominican Republic. I was having a conversation with Trey Joyner (a great guy I wish I could see and talk to more) and he was affirming that no matter where I would eventually end up I would be able to make friends because I am a nice guy. I cannot even begin to describe how uplifting that was to hear.
It is not an unusual thing to wonder what other people think of you. I am very fortunate to have surrounded myself with people that say the things I need to hear (whether it's the truth or not). My hope is to be as transparent as Leslie Knope.
