What is your reputation among your family and friends; is it good or not so good? What do people say about you; perhaps you do not care, you are sure of yourself and what people think does not matter… or does it? The answer to this question will have a great impact in your personal and business life. Your reputation is governed by your reactions to situations in your life and by the words that come out of your mouth. Be aware of your actions at all times because they will influence your reputation for good or bad weather you know it or not.
It is true that your reputation may be completely different from your character; this is why you have to look deep into yourself and get the true answer, good or bad your reputation will always perceive you. Accept it or not you already have a reputation and people talk about it at home, at the office and in your business, they may not always tell you, and when they do, you may or may not like what you hear; regardless you should pay attention and take note.
Likewise, you can have a "good" reputation but unfortunately, one bad move can ruin your reputation regardless of all the good actions you have done previously. So what can you do? Start creating a pattern of good actions that result in a good reputation. A pattern of Godly behavior will manifest itself in your life so even when people misunderstand you in your actions or words you will always have integrity with your people; they will "know better" that such actions are not in your character. Begin to adopt the characters of Jesus Christ in your daily actions and words; study Jesus reputation and his actions and words by reading and studying the Bible. At the same time, don't worry about what people think of you when you know your actions and words are pure; there will always be those who do not appreciate you.
If you are not aware of your reputation then start taking an honest assessment of yourself. A good reputation starts from the heart and starts with you, nobody else can influence your reputation even if they try. Let the word of God influence you and do not grieve the Holy Spirit. Stay consistent and really look at yourself and make a deep change from the inside out.
If you do not re-evaluate yourself from the inside and try only to work from the outside, you will fool no one; speak the truth without exaggeration and manipulation. If you do not change within yourself first then your actions will not be genuine and people will notice.
Why change you may ask yourself, you feel you already have a good reputation. Change is good, there is always room for improvement and if you want to see improvement in your life and business, you must change first. The way you are now has gotten you where you are now, that may be fine with you, however if you want major changes in your life you must work on yourself and as a result your reputation will be a great attribute for your success in both your personal and business life. - Chris Stevenson
