What made your day a good one?

We are back to the discussion on people telling you, as opposed to suggesting, what to do.
I learned a new word Sunday. The small church I attend is having and event and people are asked to sign up to volunteer. A friend said I could volunteer with him. Another person said I was "voluntold". :D

@purerockfury are friends and I knew they would not force me, or at least I suspect they aren't. "Butt", no telling what they may be up to.

I had a vicar like that, you could not wish to meet a nicer bloke and he had a massive ability of making you run around at his behest doing stuff, such as playing cricket in the church team or collecting grumpy people who didn't have a car or want to be collected anyway or helping out at the church bring and buy sale.

The vicar explained, 'it is important that you step outside your comfort zone'.

Me, thinking but not saying, 'there is a reason why it is called your comfort zone'

Were you ever glad you agreed to do what the vicar asked you to do?

During my professional career we would role play and/or have other activities to get us "out of our comfort zone". We would study our own and other's mannerisms so we might improve how we were presenting. I think actors do this as well.

If the pastor of this gathering asked me to do something, I would or at least try. I have seen her working alongside of us often during events. She is not concerned with getting her hands dirty.
