Great point!
At a conference in which I saw Andy Andrews speak, he was talking about being a better friend, family member, etc. and was talking about how if you asked people what the best trait that their closest friends and family members had, most people would say "they accept me for who I am."
Then he said, and I love this, "Heck the guy at the McDonald's drive thru accepts you for who you are are! A true friend will call you on your excuses and challenge you to be a better person."
That is so true.
We all deserve people in our lives that will take a stand for our greatness, and we deserve to do the same for others.
