It Was My Turn, So I Did It
Yesterday was my day off and I had a busy day. I got up and S.O.A.P.ed then I went to the gym to get a workout, then Vanessa and I took her dad to lunch at the Kemper Williams Golf Course in Patterson, LA. After getting home about the time the kids got out of school, I decided to cut the grass at the entrance to my subdivision. It was my turn. See, we have no schedule, no committee to oversee this, we just take turns. It's subdivision property and no one owns it. It was my turn. The last few times it's been cut, I didn't do it because I'd cut the grass my fair share of times. But yesterday, I felt like it was my turn. So I did it because it was my turn. What needs attention in your life, house, work, or subdivision that is your turn. No one is going to make you, but it just needs to be done. What if everyone just took their turn think of how much stuff would get done and it wouldn't be a burden to just a few people. Is it your turn to make coffee? bring the donuts? pick up the tab for lunch? wash the dishes? pick up the clothes? whatever it is, take your turn. You will encourage someone today and will make a difference in someone's life at work, home or play. Take your turn, don't have to be asked, don't have to be told, just see what needs to be done and do it. I believe one of the best leadership practices is just to take your turn and do something that needs doing. It's your turn now.
