Play by the Rules

Submitted by on Tuesday, 4 December 2007No Comment

This is an excerpt from a great blog called Modite.

“Generation X tried to change the status quo while entering into one of the worst job markets since the Great Depression. They scorned the good ole boys, but had to play by their rules anyway, while millenials are able to create our own rules.

The fact that Gen Xers worked hard with little success beyond casual Fridays means that they are “only mentioned to be polite” in generational discussions.”

That is powerful. The last thing I want to do is play by the rules and not accomplish what is in me. I feel like the church sometimes makes you play by certain rules to be “successful” in church.

I don’t want to be known as someone who had alot in me, but never let it out because I played by the rules.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?
