Change

So I'm finally posting my blog for last week, because I got the flu and since Thursday I didn't feel like even getting out of bed, or doing and manner of thinking whatsoever, so I didn't post my blog on time. The lecture on change was really interesting for I saw leadership more as service rather than provoking others to action which is a huge part of leadership, especially inspiring others for good. Wanting to make change, for the better, is what we should all be motivated to do. Intrinsic motivation is the most important aspect to getting something done, no matter what you are doing. I need motivation to even get up in the morning, or else I would snooze through all of my classes. When leading others to bring about change it is important to inspire them, so they can have that intrinsic motivation to make a positive change as well, or nothing will get done. I like how the speaker talked about goals, nearing the end of the semester with finals looming ahead, I realize how important goals are, and if there is not motivation to do those goals nothing will get done, and I'm sorry to say that I am not motivated to study as much as I should be. For my leadership role being a part of Freeze Fest, I was motivated to do the best that I could to make the event successful, but little did I know that I would get the flu in the most important week and I wasn't able to do all that I could for the event. I was sick the day the event went on, and during all of the advertising events leading up to it. I was so disappointed, but it happens. I wasn't not able to provide the change I wanted, which was to bring the BYU student body together to enjoy a fun event, but I did what I could and I heard that the event went very well.

  1. Wanting to make change, for the better, is what we should all be motivated to do. If we are not motivated there is no way in this world we will be able to motivate others. So to make change we can motivate ourself first and it is one of the very first step that is required to make a change.

  2. Even though you weren't able to be there for the final event, it was your hard work and motivation the led up to it that made it a great activity! It's so true the change won't come about if we don't want it or are not motivated to do it. Great post!
