Reframing

By Ryan, January 29, 2008

There is more than one way to look at everything in life. In Teen Leadership, we call this principle “reframing.” A picture can look really ugly by itself, but every picture can look good in a beautiful frame. And any situation can look good from the right perspective.

I auditioned for my school talent show last week. It should be no surprise to my loyal reader(s) that I brought stand-up comedy to the stage. But I didn’t have much of my material memorized, and I couldn’t get it printed out in time. The lines I could remember kinda stank. I didn’t make the show.

But the Frisco High School talent show is not the only opportunity I have available for stand-up comedy. There’s sure to be a talent show at the church in May, where my material would still be fresh. And, even if my comedy is no good, I also have a recently uncovered talent for rapping. Beyond all that, maybe the judges knew what they were doing. (Imagine that!) If my comedy was as pitiful as they suggested, then they saved me a lot of embarrassment by keeping me off the stage during the real show.

Getting rejected for the talent show line-up is one nasty picture. But knowing that everything worked out for the better makes for a gorgeous frame!
