GOYB - Get Off Your Backside!
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen. Nobody knows my sorrow...
Sorry folks, but trouble is just part of life. Sometimes we all feel
like singing the blues with Louis Armstrong. Life doesn't always go the
way we want. As a matter of fact, life rarely goes the way we want. So
when we're having one of those days, and there will be a lot of them,
the worst thing we can do is to become helpless, feel sorry for
ourselves, and get lost in the blues.
Go ahead and observe the people around you. What's the typical reaction when things go wrong? Yup! You're right. You've seen what I've seen. When things go wrong people tend to get thrown for a loop, don't they?
Another thing we've all seen is the endless complaining from people who have been thrown for a loop. They'll go around telling everyone they know- and even some they don't know- about their stroke of bad luck like that's going to somehow fix it all. Complaining doesn't fix anything. The only thing complaining does is make the monster bigger and dig your rut dangerously deeper.
When things are going wrong there is only one logical answer- G.O.Y.B., Get Off Your Backside! We can't sit there paralyzed like some helpless victim. We must move. We must take action. We must do something to improve our situation. Just sitting there only puts us further and further behind. Do something, anything, no matter how small it is, and it will get us moving in the right direction.
Now teens, go learn, lead, and lay the way to a better world for all of us. Remember, when things aren't going our way let's refuse to let it get the best of us and let's promise to practice G.O.Y.B., Getting Off Your Backside to the best of our super-human abilities. After all, Superman and Wonder Woman are called action heroes for a reason, right? That's because they take action during the most challenging times. And once again, thanks in advance for all that you do, and all that you will do...
