Do It All

I’ve become the go to person in my church and at home. Whenever my parents need something I’m the person to make phone calls, send emails, type things up, print things out, translate bills/documents…at church I hold 3 titles but they tend to get combined with other titles, and I tend to be dubbed leader of anything that involves youth.

Today I was working on details for a trip I’m organizing, and I received a text message to do something for my dad, asked to write a proposal, told to write a statement for a meeting, asked to fill a deposit slip, and asked to set up a meeting…all within 10 minutes. All of this must be done in addition to my personal errands.

Lately I’ve been pretty bitter about having to do so much, and I even decided that if it wasn’t MY specific responsibility I just wasn’t going to do it.

I wrote a very vague status about “doing it all” on FB, and 3 very successful people, that I admire and respect, that are around my age, confirmed that yes I have to do it all (in other words it’s not a bad thing). Then today at church we had a youth service and the pastor preached about this very topic, again confirming that yep I should do it all. How else will I learn what I’m good at if I don’t try things?

So my level of organization is going to go WAY up. I’m going to prioritize, and I’m going to do it all (within reasonable limits of course). Here’s to making moves!
