This and last week I set myself up for a leadership experiment. I decided to act on everything I was thinking of doing. Whenever I got an idea, I usually didn’t act upon it because I was afraid of the idea being rejected or just not happening. Back in highschool, my group of friends was very unsupportive and lazy in my opinion. It was hard to plan things with them because they would agree it was a good idea and then not do anything about, not move a finger to make the idea true or just reject everything out of laziness. Here I have a new life and a new group of friends so I decided to try to do what I wanted to do before. So I started proposing ideas and planning them and so far so good. It was very nice to see interest from others whenever I proposed something and then see it happen. This week we planned a whole trip to Savannah for the upcoming holiday weekend and more than 8 friends signed up, I was expecting around 3 people but more signed up which makes the trip more enjoyable and cost friendly. Then I decided to work on it right away to not lose momentum and started my research to get them all the information they needed. It is still a work in progress but it is moving in the right direction. I did smaller things throughout the week like plan going out or plan a date to go to eat somewhere nice. It’s been working so far and I am very happy that is has. I am happy to see that I am finally in an environment of companionship and enthusiasm. I have always been an enthusiastic guy with many ideas and curiosity to see and experience new things but it was held down by those around me, well not anymore, I am going all out while I’m here because I see others share my enthusiasm.
