One For The Team

We all do things that we would rather skip, as we consider them boring or not our thing.  Some things might very well be boring or not our thing, but how we perceive and approach them makes all the difference in the world.  We can steadily complain and cause friction about going to the antique show, or we can look at it as a chance to spend time with our girl and maybe, just maybe, learn a little something about antiques or history.

Personally, I am not a late night bar guy that goes to the poser, shiny shirt bars, but I will on occasion just to be with my people.  If nothing else, I get to laugh at all the $30,000 millionaires “wanna be’s” that think they are someone.  Conversely, people sometimes go with me to seedy dive bars, as I like those are places.  I’ve had girls go to gun shows with me knowing all the time knowing that is not their deal then have them say that was some of the best people watching ever.  

Taking one for the team can be fun and a learning exercise if we approach it with the right mind set.  Bitch and complain about how the event with stink and the event will stink.  Look at it as time with people you like and an opportunity to learn/experience something new and all of a sudden, you have something fun and new to do.  It comes down to the “P” word again, Perception. 

Here is your challenge for the weekend.  Do something you would not normally do and report back to me.  I’ll write something about the best story I get.  Heck, I may write about all of them.  Ya never know.
