Thanks to Hugh Macleod, we now have The Blue Monster.
I love this attitude. I've heard it said another way, "Go big or go home." That "get r done" attitude is incredible and I love it. Hugh drew this cartoon for Microsoft but I think it applies to our industry as well.
Many would say that this is a very difficult time for camps and conference centers. They would say it's time to hunker down and ride out the storm. Maybe they would even say it's time to batten down the hatches and forget about launching anything.
I disagree. In my view, this is exactly the time to try the new thing. It's time to embrace the Blue Monster--to change the world or go home.
I mean, really, why are you doing what you are doing anyway? Were you hired to simply perpetuate the status quo or were you hired to make a difference? Are you just a cog in a giant wheel, simply doing your job putting bottle caps on bottles until you die or give up only to be replaced by the next girl (or guy)?
I think not. You are a unique individual. A special package of gifts and talents that no one else can provide. God put you where you are because you bring a special "seasoning" that He wants in that place...at this time. You are there...ON PURPOSE!
It's time to start. It's time to engage. It's time to do those things you were brought in to do. Are you waiting for permission? Okay...you've got it. I hereby give you permission to initiate those things that are in your heart to do. It's time.
Harness the Blue Monster that Hugh talks about. Find the social object. Discover that purpose idea for your camp or conference. Don't take this downturn lying down. This is your opportunity to shine.
