When was the last time you gave a ‘revolutionary’ new idea in your group genuine consideration? When was the last time you took a new idea and implemented it?
It’s easy to identify your last pet collection, your last food delivery, your last donation drive; your last adoption.
But when was the last time your group said “Yes! Maybe we could be doing this better – lets try… X”
It’s really easy to get bogged down in the every day.
It’s really easy to forget to look outside your group for inspiration.
It’s really easy to be so in love with your ideals, that you’re blind to the need to challenge them.
And it’s really, really easy to just keep doing what you’re doing.
But you must evolve – not because you want to, or because it is in any way a comfortable experience to do so – but because if you don’t you’re sunk. Someone else will come along and start doing what you do and they’ll have fresh legs and brand new shiny enthusiasm.
Wouldn’t it be better to keep your headstart?
