Lead Now

I just thought of the FOL theme for this year, which is "Lead Now". I think this theme is perfect because we can all be leaders and now is the time to do it! Something I liked this last week's lecture was "leaders incognito". You don't have to be up in front to lead, you can be positively influential from within the ranks as well. Being in my first year of college, I'm used to everything back home always being run by adults. But now it's not and I can either shrink from opportunities to lead or Lead Now. It might feel weird at first because I don't feel like I'm a full-fledged adult, but if I wait until I am I will have lost all those opportunities for growth. And it's easy to say vague things like that but it is harder to actually find a way to really apply them and make it more than just a good intention. That's my goal this week, to counsciously apply this motto of Leading Now. I think I made a goal on an earlier post to get to know the people in my FHE better so I could serve them better, specifically finding out their birthdays and what they like to do for fun so I could plan better activities for them. I feel like I was partially successful I found out everyone's birthday and most everyone's hobbies/things they like to do/suggestions for FHE. I can still work on this.
