My Life Outside of Photography Thoughts and findings that don't always relate to Photography

What I’ve learned from Church Sport Activities

This is over years and years of experience of church and stretching far beyond church events.

This does not include organized sporting events and leagues but "just for fun" events.
Yes I just got back from an activity... but I've actually wanted to write this post for YEARS.
So this is hardly a reflection of simply the last event

• Everything is permissible in the name of having fun.
• It's alright not to try your best.
• Every failure, lack of effort, time of goofing off, rule breaking can be excused by saying "It's just a game"
• Goals and objectives are so very over rated in life... why do them in activities.
• The way to learn how to deal with loosing is to never put yourself in a position where anyone can loose.
• Working as a team is way over rated.
• Working as a team for one united effort is too hard to even attempt.
• When you try to work at a team it means sometimes someone has to tell someone when they're doing something wrong and that makes someone into a bad guy.
• It's best to let someone just keep doing something wrong.
• Let people do whatever they want because it avoids any chance of contention.
• Trying your hardest is over rated.
• Keeping score just leads to people having an objective and putting in their best effort... which as we all know leads to problems stated above because we're not mature enough to deal with those sorts of things.
• Rules don't solve anything... the best lesson is to learn how to exist with eachother in chaos.
• The most vocal person gets to decide the rules because no one else should stand up for what's right.
• It's best to just make up the rules as you go along instead of stating them at the beginning.
• It's too much to ask to have someone come prepared to know the rules to begin with.
• Knowing your order or your position is for dictators... it's better to let people stress each time about where they're supposed to be. Even if it's wrong.
• When someone gets hurt the bigger the crowd around the person doing nothing... the better the person is going to feel.
• "Next point wins" is the way for everyone to feel good about the ending because no one really wins because we all know it really means nothing at all.
• So above all the standard of "having fun" can only be achieved in chaos, lack of objectives and and a void of leadership.
• Becoming better at what you do is for prudes and people that hate fun.

RECAP

• Don't keep score.
• Don't enforce rules.
• Don't have an objective.
• Finish the game when it just disolves into chaos.
• Or finish the game when the popular person says he or she is done playing.
• Allowing people to fail time and time again is much better than possibly coming off as the know it all.
• Being organized is over rated.
• Having fun is impossible if 1. You're trying to work as a team 2. Trying to get better 3. Organized 4. Have an objective and keep track.

Did I miss anything?

Be sure to take these points and apply them in your every day life such as at school, at work, personal goals, hobbies, spirituality.

Just have fun remember it's all just a game and if you're trying hard and doing your best you're overworking and you're obviously not having fun.
