You’re a living example whether you want to or not. The problem that presents itself is people are unconscious that someone is following exactly what they are doing, so they live their life as if they have no influence on others.  Some entertainers and athletes are prime examples of being unaware of the influence they have on the youth as well as their peers today.  People imitate the actions good or bad  of the role models they see, and that sometimes causes people to live lifestyles that reflect the role model and not themselves.
The future is the younger generation and its our responsibility to give them an example that will enhance not deflate their future.  People say they want the world to change, but are to selfish to change themselves and that’s why we will continue to live in this carousel world.  If you’re a product of your environment then why don’t you do better, so your kids don’t have to become the same.  Let’s dig up these negative roots, and plant a seed of positive success! Be a living example worth learning from!
