Just came from a Volunteer appreciation dinner. The church
recognizes people giving for all these different activities. People there planning for the future, teaching
religion, funeral services, social justice, choirs, feeding the homeless,
leading groups, ushering, greeting people, and in line with my skills - set
ups, tear downs, serving coffee and doing dishes. All these people are doing the
little things that build a better society.
Your life will not get better until you do something
different than you are doing now. Something that stretches you, makes you
uncomfortable, meeting new people, or try a new skill that you aren’t really
sure you will succeed at.
In college my professors said our knowledge is always
changing. So we are not teaching you the facts, we are teaching you how to
learn for after you graduate.
Taking a class on navigating office politics tomorrow.
Office politics are not my favorite subject. Would rather keep my head down and
work. Would rather scrub walls and the floor than deal with politics. However
if the right decision needs to be made, would like to have input and contribute
where I can. So will take a class to improve skills for the future.
So the question is, what are you doing to make your life
better?
