Inspire: Character is who you are when everything changes.

Working an event tonight - a concert, to be exact. And the concert that was on paper a week ago looks nothing like tonight. It bears some resemblance to the concert that was rehearsed last night, but not overly much.

My first reaction is to lash out - alright, who didn't have their stuff together? Except, in my head, it's rarely "stuff" I'm thinking. My first instinct is to judge - who is it that's wasting my time by not supplying me with the information I need to do my job? I know my bit - please, please know yours.

But then I sit and ask what I'd like - what I've needed, time and time again: Grace. Because I don't come to the table with all the answers, either. In anything worth really working at, I run into wrinkles and creases, refinements, re-dos, and even the occasional complete removal.

What do you look like when your plans get changed or run over or ignored? Can you forget what you do... to remember who you are?
