Ah I left some words of encouragement out....
Having been a colony member myself for the last 3 years (all 3 of those years I've been an executive officer of some type or another). I've seen ALL of the drama that has occured within my colony.
Yeah, there have been times that I stayed up late at night wondering why the heck I was wasting my time... We've had members that would do nothing but drag our name through the mud repeatedly...
Our membership after such members left their marks on us has declined as low as 12. But we have bounced back. We have survived. When things like this happen and OFFICERS of all people cause drama like this to occur then you should know they joined for the wrong reason.
One of my bro's last night was telling me how his most admired person was General MacArthur. General MacArthur was ordered to reinforce another unit in Korea. He was told that 72 hours was what it'd take IF HE HURRIED. The unit was surrounded by enemies and basically pinned down. MacArthur told them he'd be there in a day. And of course no one believed him. He drove his men through 6 feet of snow, up the faces of cliffs, through mountains and about the worst possible conditions. He made it in 24 hours and through that is largely responsible for the fact that South Korea exists.
The point is, no matter what those other people tell you. No matter how many folks in your house are saying "It can't be done". You have to be the guy that says "Yes it can." And if you can be that guy, then one way or another, it will happen.
Best of luck on getting your charter!
LHT,
Kevin
