I am one of 'those' people. You know, one of those people who sit back and watch a show/program/presentation, heck even with some of my teachers lessons, and I think "I could do this better"...granted very rarely do I ever voice this out loud....except to Cory, and yet, he still loves me.
When changes are implemented in something that I am involved in do I go with the flow? NOPE, I buck the new system and I grumble...usually out loud...and I think I pretty much make everyone miserable until at some point I conform and fall in line.
With that said, let me add that if the change is MY idea, well then its practically perfect in every way!
There was a big change presented to me today that will I suppose be taking place in our primary, and every other primary in the world. My first reaction? UGH, do they realize how much extra work this creates for me! I don't like it! Its dumb, grrrrrrr.
And then a little saying popped into my head "change is certain, growth is optional"....damn. This is a perfect opportunity for me to let go of the control and sit back and go with the flow...and man is it going to be a challenge!
I have even worked out a script in my head of what I will (politely!) say if my input is sought...it took me almost an hour to make is polite and non offending to anyone....I still don't see exactly HOW this change makes anything better or easier, but that aside, someone MUCH higher than me knows that this is a change that needed to be made...for reasons unknown to me. I didn't even vent this to Cory yet, so I wonder what he will think when he hears of the changes and sees how I react...hopefully out of character :D
On a totally unrelated topic...I wonder if I could go a whole post without using...
