A Slice Of Life

Hey, it seems like it is important to stay positive and believe in good things going on. It also seems like there are times when that seems just not possible. Most of life often takes place in the middle of those two poles. A different wrinkle is that when you are in a leadership position your ability to speak those becomes hampered, because it is important not to tank anything further. The law of gravity works towards a group's momentum as well, it is easier to drag it down than to lift it up. Basically it feels like my group is on a bad skid that no one really wants to break out of it. Of the readers of this infrequent blog, does anyone have any advice on how to break out of something like this on a personal level? It is hard not to personalize all this, and it seems like I am failing. Warning though, no "pat" answers, no easy answers, and no "church" answers.
