~:[CH6 - Day 49]:~ Picture Imperfect
There were mistakes along the way, but that's perfectly fine. So many people strive for perfection, that they forget that imperfection happens. Running a conference is never easy and with all that is going on, it makes it more difficult to coordinate. When you have good people running the ship, it's much easier and this ship was definitely easy to sail. While we may have hit a few road bumps along the way, I was perfectly happy by day's end. It's tough to accept when you made an error, but it's also something you cannot be afraid of. We must embrace these imperfections and use them to learn and to grow. Despite our mix ups, today was a success. Not only did the ship sail in the hands of very capable people, I saw the growth of the freshman and am really excited for what the future holds for them. It was hard because a few delegates were a handful of points away with some even being half a point away, but that is part of the process. Struggle. Learn. Grow. Repeat. Without failure and without imperfection, we would move along on an easy road, but would we really be doing ourselves a service? Don't be afraid of failure as failure is just an opportunity to grow. There were shortfalls today, but there was more success in the end thanks to all those who worked so hard to make it happen. Never allow a speed bump stop you from progressing forward, as it is just a reminder to slow down every once in awhile and soak in all that wonderful things that are around you. Today was picture imperfect and that's exactly why it was so grand.
