I never step away from a
challenge.
BWAHAHAHAHAHHA
Gotcha.
I totally step away from a challenge, especially if the choice is easily made.
It’s most apparent by my lack of competitive spirit, and why I never played sports. Every gym class scenario when I was growing up:
Me: Oh, you want the ball? Here. Have
it. No really, have it. It’s just a ball. Hey, fighting over this is boring. Let’s
sit down and relax. Do you believe in aliens? I mean, I don’t want to because
they sort of scare me, but I also don’t want to be the one who gets abducted
and isn’t prepared. On the other hand, what’re you gonna do if it happens? You
know? Obviously I’m talking about probing. Do you think there’s cake in
space?
Gym teachers hated me.
Many times I make life changes in
order to cut down on the amount of work I have to do, actively deciding to do
things based on how little work is in it for me. My husband would call this efficiency. I refer to it as laziness.
It’s a wonder that I had children.
Or got married. Or went to school. Or have a house. Or a car. Or friends. Or siblings and parents.
For some of my life experiences, I got lucky. For others, I was fully aware and made the best
choice at the time. For a few, I was duped. For a couple more, the challenge was to adapt or die.
Here’s the thing: life is full of
challenges no matter if you step around a few here or there or right into the middle of every single one of them. They are pervasive and there is no escape. No matter how carefully
you have organized life to be as comfortable as possible, you can be sure that
a new challenge is coming soon. It may come at you from afar in the form of
aliens, or it may originate from within in the form of a fatty tumor.
I don’t really have a point with
this. I guess all I'm saying is that while we may not always welcome challenges, they are there
anyway, so man up and get in front to handle them like it’s your business,
because you know what? It totally is. Good luck with your challenges. I’ll be
here, eating cake and reading up on aliens.
And how much probing I should really expect.
