Venting it out...

Why is it so easy for you to give up? When you have a responsibility to carry out, you do it to your full power. You have to at least try. You might not like it at first, but you have to try. YOU NEVER GIVE UP WITHOUT TRYING!!! If it was so easy to just give up then the organization would be no more. It would cease to exist. As servant leaders, we do not just do what we please. We do what will benefit our members. What will benefit the majority. We think of their welfare before ours. With faulty leadership, their trust will begin to crumble. Seeing nothing done in the organization that promised them so much, they might withdraw their membership. Without people supporting the organization, it withers away and eventually dies.

Being a leader has a lot of responsibility. Why take on a responsibility not knowing how much it will cost you? You might say that you were merely assigned to the position, but by sitting in office you accepted its responsibility alongside its power.*Sigh* There are many things you need to learn. When you take on something, you give your everything. You put you heart and soul into it, so that we the time comes you can say that you've given yourself for it. You have to believe in what you do. You have to understand why you're doing something. You do not just follow orders. You have to understand what the order was for. You have to judge whether you will follow or not. You have been selected as the voice of your people so be that someone and do your job! You speak up.

You need vision. You need a goal. Without a goal, people lose sight of where they're heading. And in the case of those in power, they lose sight of where they're leading their people. A goal is that something you strive hard to achieve you never stop having goals. When you accomplished one, you push through with the next one. Little by little you emerge from the bottom. You climb higher and higher, achieving greater and greater goals. Eventually, you will find the vision within reach. And if not, you leave a legacy and let the next generation reach for it. If you taught them well enough, they'll establish a new vision for they'll make reality the vision of your term.

I can only teach you so much. You have to learn for yourself, the same way has I have. There was no one to tell me what was right or what was wrong. I relied on my co-officers and asked for advices from the previous terms. I hear all what they have to say and based from that I make a decision. I cannot just do what I think is best at a whim. I have to think and rethink a decision many times before I put it down.
