Copy Cat

Oscar Wilde once said, “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...” Flattery can make a person feel good, but is there any value in it? At the same time, do we want others to copy us, to imitate us. It’s likely we only want people to imitate the good stuff. If you have kids, you’ve likely experienced one of those moments when your kids say in public something you said in private and wouldn’t want repeated. Or you’ve heard someone say, they are a mini version of you. Or someone tells you your kids do something just like you. In those moments we cringe. This week we are going to talk about how we can leverage imitation for the good of ourselves and others as we continue talking about core values.
