The Choice is Always YoursIt's Kay Drummond from This issue includes:
My mum used to say, if you cant do something with a good heart, its not worth doing. I realize now that she was right (mothers normally are, aren’t they!) When you don’t have the right intention, there’s a good chance you aren’t going to succeed! How do I know? Because I have spent the last three years as the President on a Church Committee that I didn’t particularly want to be on. Why did I stay on it that long? Yes, that’s a question I asked myself often! The answer is that no one else wanted to do it, so I felt I had no option. I did the job half hearted, with no particular enthusiasm, in fact I sometimes found it a pain, having to open up the church, and set up for the service, and attend meetings once a month. In my defence however, I always enjoy the service very much! When I look back I can’t really believe I have been plodding along as President with the wrong attitude. It’s made even worse when I think of everything I have written, and believe, in this website, and here was I failing miserably! I know that I always had a choice. I could have said no, when I first became President, which was because the previous person suddenly resigned, and the week before I had been made the Vice President, with no desire to be the President ever! I have been looking forward to the Annual General Meeting in October, when I could step down. I gave out a message last Sunday at church, explaining that the meeting was being held in October, and that we needed committee members, or the Church would have to go into recess. This caused a reaction! People took away forms to read through, they would join the Committee as they didn’t want the Church to close. Something happened to my way of thinking, and for some reason I realized I had been doing my job without intention or motivation. You can do what someone asks because you feel you have no other option, (as I did) but I would like to put it to you that you do have an option, the choice is yours to make. No one can make you do anything you don’t want to. You can always choose to say no. When you do something you don’t want, you may do it without motivation, and will probably gain no sense of enjoyment, or achievement. It will help greatly if you can change your attitude from an "I don't want to do this" to an "I am going to prove that I can" one. After all, it was your choice to say yes, even though you wanted to say no! This morning, I feel great! Why? Because I have changed my attitude, and empowered myself to do a good job, with, as my mother would say, a good heart. I discovered an amazing e-book that really helped me, and put my thoughts into perspective.
