In the world to come, I shall not be asked, "Why were you not Moses?" I shall be asked, "Why were you not Zusya?" ~ Rabbi Zusya

While I thoroughly enjoy sending lengthy messages about self accountability and self worth, this week is different. There is nothing I can say that wasn't already said in today's quote. While Rabbi Zusya refers to the 'world to come', I'm focusing on tomorrow. His message speaks for itself. No one will care why I didn't turn out to be like someone else if I didn't even live up to staying true to me.

My challenge to you this week is for you to simply be you. Don't spend money on gifts that don’t speak to your character and don't represent what you stand for. Don't try to impress your neighbors or colleagues by supporting a position that you personally don't believe in. Your students, patients, staff, or children are only impressed by the genuineness of you. Trying to be someone else only jeopardizes your integrity and leadership.
