Elder David A. Bendar, has said "We are to act and not simply be acted upon". And yet our actions can effect the actions, and to some extent the attitudes of others. The way I act can influence the behaviors of my siblings for good or ill. After discussing the different family models in class Tuesday, I began to reflect on my part in those different models, particularly the systems model. I started to think back on the times where I see could how when my attitude changed from a negative to a positive, my siblings' attitudes seemed to change as well. I then remembered all the times when my attitude stayed negative and my siblings picked up on that and sometimes adopted the same mindset. I wish now that I had tried harder to be more positive from the beginning.
