•Day 15 — A fanfic... ok not fan fiction... how about who am I a fan of?
Well, this one got me to thinking. I am not really a pop culture kind of person and I don't follow sports closely enough to be a fan of anyone popular.
I will say though that I was reading something a few years back. When most people are asked what they look for in a friend is 'someone who accepts you for who you are'. So I am not going to disagree with this statement but I would take the idea a little further based on something else I read. A true friend is someone who accepts you but also helps you grow as a person.
So when picking people who you want to share your time with you don't want to pick a clone of you. Someone who things the same or acts the same but someone who is who you aspire to grow to be like. This book I read called them my "Board of Directors".
So to get to the point of my 'fanatic' post here... The people I choose to be in my 'Board of Director' are the people I am a fan of. The people who challenge my behaviors, who do things that I aspire to do, who take risks and aren't afraid to change for the better and follow their dreams.
Since I moved I haven't been in contact as closely with some of my board of directors, but that doesn't mean I have stopped challenging myself to grow as a person. So for all of you who support me and challenge me at the same time I say thanks.... you probably know who you are.
