We can change lives by inspiration and attraction or we can rant and rave, which one are you?

I am a ranter and raver, historically; who is consciously working toward becoming an inspirer/attractor. As an abused and neglected child, I tried to get attention through hissy fits, yet I still never felt as though I was being heard – even through young adulthood. As I’ve learned to let go of the rage and blame, I’ve also worked on changing my habits of getting riled-up and verbally out of control when in a confrontational situation. It still creeps up at times when I feel frustrated and disrespected, which fortunately doesn’t happen often anymore.

I am not a ranter and raver..

I try not to limit myself. Since I work with students, I work to guide them and be a good example, but I’m certainly not above a good rant when necessary.

It’s rare for me to rant, but I can,
I really dislike complainers, the occasional frustrated rant is fine but I prefer looking for ways to take action instead of complaining.
A friend recently paid me a nice compliment and said ” You know what you want and that’s what I like about you.”
I can only listen just so much to complainers before I want to smack ‘em in the head. lol

I used to be a preacher when I was young but soon discovered that that didn’t work.

When I think about my role models. they are all doers. I try to emulate their actions or behaviors (these may be the same thing.)

Try to live an exemplary life. Others will get the point without your needing to have a PR person.

Those are not mutually exclusive.

yep I am somewhere in between. And yes I do enjoy a good rant from time to time. It feels good.
But it is surprisingly easy to be an attractor. Kindness, thoughtfulness consideration and a genuine warmth go really far.

I’m a raver, can’t you tell?

I think those are both viable methods, depending on the circumstance.
Nowt wrong with a well-timed, good intentioned rant, that’s what the sgt major is in the army for.

What? We have to choose only one. I am both, sometimes at the same time.

I don’t know. You tell me. Do I inspire? Attract? Or rave? Probably a bit of each. I do enjoy attracting, but that almost never happens. I also love to rant and rave, and that happens a lot. Inspiring sounds noble, but I can’t imagine I have every inspired anyone. I’m not opposed to it, of course. I just don’t think people find me all that inspiring.

Now don’t all leap to confirm that, people!

Both, for sure. In day-to-day life, I am not much of a rant and rave kind of person, but I sure do get there sometimes. When I’m passionate about something, and am not getting results one way, I am more than willing to go the extra mile. ;)
