Challenge is Always Good!

So what if I sneak in; the back door is open.  Stop judging because you would do the same thing.  As I stand to my feet, I brush off and get myself together.  Not a moment later I look through the façade surroundings.  Bold.... briefcase in hand...staring me down are the eyes.  Pushing and shoving...maneuvering the crowd...”it” moves quickly.  Chaos is incredible and the weight is excessive.  Bumping back and forth...still moving...and I’ve yet to pass out a business card.     

It seems not even Dorothy, Judy Garland nor Diana Ross, can change this situation!  Having “challenge” as the waitress is difficult.  #@@# I understand.  If serious about finding a seat you’ll stay with me and continue reading.  It matters less what the situation might be: cold calling, public speaking, holding a parent teacher conference, opening a new account, taking a test, or making up with the other.  Challenge is ALWAYS an uninvited host.  Scarecrows are unwelcome.

False alarm?  Most only wish.  Read on.  Not because I have the answer; that might be too coincidental.  Read on because you understand that in order to undo what the enemy has done or will do, you have to fight.  Last week...rhetorical.  Meant to be such.  I’d rather you focus on the second question “what better alternatives have you NOT chosen that seem unlikely or improbable?”  To say I’ve never been immobilized just sounds good.  It’s Monday -- anxious to get there — let’s keep it moving!
