But it wasn't always that way. There was a time when I looked forward to Sunday nights.
The truth is, I've changed my perspective.
I've made up three lame excuses to explain my change of attitude.
1. I'm too old for the group
2. the leadership
3. the group itself doesn't get involved.
Notice that I never blamed myself for anything...
...and that's where the problem starts.
MY attitude changed so it probably has to do with me.
If I'm unhappy with the way things are then I should change them.
Mahatma Ghandi has that famous quote "Be the change you want to see in the world."
I guess that's true for any situation. Be that change.
But what if I fail? Well I have a quote for that too.
"If you're going to risk and maybe fail, fail at something that matters. Fail gloriously, so that even in failure, lives change." -Jon Acuff (he is an awesome Christian author/blogger, you really should check him out.)
and that' really how i should take this...so many times when I want to make something happen I don't because I'm afraid of failure.
So with this being said, does that mean I'm going to overthrow my youth leader and get things done my way? Of course not!
This just means that I am going to do all that I can to be the change I want to see.
