I have come to a harsh conclusion

I am not doing so hot as a leader. I realized that last night. I need to work on not letting my personal feelings influence the way I handle the responsibilities I have been given. I also want to work on not being a hypocrite like other people.

Matthew 7:2
For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

Last night, someone said something to me about how I was acting. I knew that what they were saying wasn't true, and then I started thinking about that person and how they were throwing rocks in a glass house. I ended up thinking "You're one to talk, look at what you have done thus far." This led me to remember this verse and it got me thinking. As a leader, part of my job is to tell people if they are not doing something correctly. According to this verse, the only time I should do this is after I am sure I am not doing the thing that I am telling someone else to fix. If I am doing what I tell someone else not to do, I am putting ammunition in the empty guns pointed at me.

That is my super serious thought for the day. On to happier news! Last night we had our first "Summit Conditioning" meeting. I had eaten an entire jalapeño pizza two hours before I went because I forgot that we were having it. Needless to say, I was dying on the sprints. I was completely fine with everything else though. The lunges hurt, but the running while pushing a car wasn't too bad. There is always room for improvement though. I watched people practice and thought about which events they would be best in.
