How can we become better?….By doing the “Right Thing”. Richard Reikowski, Au.D Family Hearing and Balance Center, Akron Ohio

How can we become better? A very good question to ask ourselves through our life. Does becoming better involve ourselves or others. This morning, I am answering this question in my relationship with others. As an audiologist, I am becoming ever more interested to learning what is important to others, and what may help each person to acquire a better quality of life. In this goal, I view myself as a person that assist others to improve their life. Can I listen more to learn more? Can I remember what is important so that I can relate this as important to me as well? Will I place myself secondary to another persons needs? Am I doing what I am doing for the right reasons?
I recall this past week my son who is 6 1/2 said to me after finding a frog, while planting flower’s for Mother’s Day, said “I better let you go”, to the frog. He was by himself and as I overheard this chatter to his frog. He then said, “Because, it’s the right thing to do….”
This was so powerful to me! He knew, that by releasing this small frog to the yard, allowing it to find his family and home, and by being free was the “right thing to do”
Each day we awake with decisions of  “doing the right thing”.  In that striving, I enjoy my work, and being a part of peoples quality of life journey.
