(From 12/29/04) – The Too Hard Way – I was out looking for cell phones today to replace my camera-less one. I went to several stores and none had the phone that I wanted. Long story short, it turns out that my second choice will actually work better in the application that I have. Our normal response when things become difficult is to find a way to beat them down. Maybe if things are really hard, it’s a sign that you are on the wrong track. If plan A becomes too hard, we might need to start looking for another plan, even though we have a lot invested already. (After all, it was us who came up with Plan A in the first place.) Are there things in your life where you are doing it the Too Hard Way?
