a positive place. :) (AKA - that's why they call me Pollyanna!!!)
As a leader of my school, I have been exposed to a lot of negativity this year. It's very easy to fall into a pattern of complaining without coming up with any positive solutions. In Follow Me to Freedom, Shane found the key to my heart when he said, "There is no room for negativity and complaining. We either need to use every ounce of energy we have to change something that is wrong, or we need to stop complaining" (loc 2713). Later, he points out that while we do need people around that see what's wrong, they also need to be part of the solution. Leading people away from negativity is a challenge, and it's all to easy to follow those same negative people into frustration. If we demonstrate our commitment to excellence with a positive "WE can do it" attitude, other's will want to follow that lead...
