time to reflect

I've given myself a week now to take a few steps back to look back at the last year or so. My life was consumed by YJA and 2008 convention. I gave everything I had with the hopes that I would be rewarded with positive results as an organization. I can say that i was paid back ten-fold.

I'm extremely happy with how I'm leaving the organization and success it has had as me being one of the key figures crucial to that success. There are so many things that I'm going to miss as I give up this position to someone else. There's a few elements that make it so unique to be involved with YJA. I know I can be a project manager and have similar success as a leader. But will I be involved with a group of individuals that are like family to me? Will I share that same type of bond? I don't know...

More importantly, will I be influence people the same way we did with our convention? Will we do something so good that is changes people's lives? I really hope I get an opportunity to be a part of that again.

With this type of position, there's a lot of power that is the easiest thing to miss. Without that power its easy to feel irrelevant. I'm going to miss that for sure...

But, I guess its time for me to move on as much as I want to hold on.
