Deciding that everything is a story.  This coffee cup, the cold coffee in it from hours ago. 

The meeting I just had with my Sales Ops Director, encouraging me to keep doing what I’m doing, and how this opportunity with this Sales Academy as we call it opens all the doors.  

I mean, ALL OF THEM.

Everything I’ve wanted in a career, or job.  Each one of my listed passions, anything I am capable of thinking of, that would bring me joy in a “workplace”.

The days of wishing, resenting where I am – DONE. GONE. NO MORE.

In my writing booth, trying not to hear the chewing of chips next to me.  Focusing on this cold coffee, what it’s telling me, how I’m to operate as it were in this new mind.

This laptop, where everything is…. Next meeting, check-in with a Field Sales Rep.  The door-to-door character, what they see and feel, and how they move daily.  One door, then another.

I urge them, “Don’t let one door poison the next, don’t let one door poison the rest.” On paper that looks easy, but….  Humans.  Life.

Day continues to introduce scenes, conversations, this Sales Academy.  This is it, I think.  What do I do with it?  How do I build from what others are literally by my side helping me build?

The shock of the opportunity, the ‘door’ nature to it.  Already open, already signed, so…..  The only one who can derail this is ME.

The Story of this sitting, the coffee, the check-in, the meeting with one of my Engineers at 15:00.  Drive home after that… the glass of SB already speaking to me.   Keep writing, I tell myself.  I have 21 minutes till the call.

What we should be after – PEACE.  In everything we do.  That’s what today and this Academy project is teaching me, if you really want to know.  There should only be difficulty if you cause it, and you do most of the time.  Everything placed before me, meant to be music.  A song worth a dozen back-to-back replays, if not more.

And, DON’T OVERTHINK IT.  Just keep moving.
