How to start a MOVEMENT!



Here are 10 things I got out of this video about starting a movement:
  1. All movements need a leader.
  2. You will be alone at the beginning!
  3. You have to be bold and courageous!
  4. You cannot worry and stress out about what others might think.
  5. You have to be in it for the long haul. (Consistency)
  6. You have to interact and welcome people who seem to be interested in what you are doing.
  7. When people start getting involved, don't try to control them.
  8. There will always be people who will not get involved in the movement, so don't try to please everyone!
  9. Let the tribe improvise and be creative.
  10. Have fun! Its all worth it at the end!
What are your thoughts and what would you add?

Yes, add every movement needs a song!!!!! "A you need is love!" :I am black and I am proud" etc.

The thing that I find most interesting about starting a movement is that often times the catalyst isn't fully aware don't know how big it will/could get. That guy was authentically expressing himself and people were drawn into becoming a part of his infectious passion.

This is a great post! To follow up on what John said, the catalyst was just being sincere and following his passion.

I think once God ignites our passion and spurs us to move, we should obey and not worry about what those around us may think.
