Me? I’m a control freak, so I don’t relish giving anyone power over me by doing something wrong. I subscribe to the do-unto-others doctrine. You?
I actually couldn't tell you specifically. its a random mix of things
First my family and what they taught me, when i was younger i did what they said cause they were my family who loved me and if i didnt well i got beat LMAO
when they sat me down and gave me an explanation of logic and asked me questions to help me learn and teach myself with a mix of groundings and ass whoopins it was very effective.!
I was a much better kid than i would have been without it. We went to church and stuff too but it was more them than anything. (pre teen)
Next as I got a little older and understood more another thing added to it. I wanted to not disappoint and bee seen as a good person also. with the whoopins and being taught it made sense to me, logically when i thought about it, (teenage to 20s)
After that it was a feeling i got from being a good person, it feels right, it feels good to me because of all the ways my brain looks at it. And now being an example for family, friends and the kids i coach and mentor is a part of it too.
a frequent compliment i get that never gets old and makes me genuinely feel good is when im told:
"J you are always the same person every time i see you, a happy guy and you always treat me the same, whether it was 10 years ago or no and no matter where we are or who you are with"
Ive gotten that compliment in many various forms over the years and nothing feels better than that in regards to nonfamily members giving me a direct compliments. Its just a feeling of "hey i guess im doing something right) besides the compliments of people feeling i was a great dad. They are at the top for sure.
so family, subjective opinion and logic of right and wrong, setting an example (do unto others) and a personal good feeling about it
