After watching the Survivor finale “Blood vs Water” I can’t help but wonder what qualities do you look for in a survivor? Do you prefer someone with a dynamic personality who makes alliances with everyone? Do you prefer someone who expresses their opinion even if it conflicts with everyone else? Are you a people pleaser? We all look for someone with qualities we can respect and admire. Do you have the courage to stand up for what you believe in, even if you feel the majority won’t agree with you? You can definitely see how reality TV got its name and how the lessons the characters learn, apply to real life. Notice how the good players never take their focus off their only goal…winning the million dollars. In reality, if you always focus on the big picture, do what’s right in your heart and maintain your professionalism, eventually you will gain the respect you deserve. Keep your eyes on the prize. Stay true to yourself. Always be professional. Respect is gained by being courageous and standing up for what you believe in. “Do not fear the winds of adversity.
