Thursday Thinking by YoTrip for January 27, 2011-Are you Challenging Life or is Life Challenging you? (Vol.1, Iss.4)

“Are you Challenging Life or is Life Challenging you?

“The world is falling down around you. This is the place where so many currently reside aimlessly desiring an EVICTION NOTICE. I challenge you to push up and out.” 9/24/08 ~~YoTrip“Narrow is the road of things deemed too hard or difficult, few take the challenge to travel that path. Decide that you will be a trailblazer.” 12/23/08 ~~YoTrip“Soaring Towards Heaven In 2011″

Life has a way of being challenging for all who are living it. The challenges presented can be large or small, good or bad, uplifting or down-trodding, pushing or pulling when it lands on your doorstep. Challenges do not always send a calling card, show up nice and tidy, or are what you are expecting. When challenges come you make a decision about how to handle them or the challenges make a decision about how to handle you. Are you challenging life or is life challenging you?

 

When life’s challenges come front center to you, it forces you to decide which path to take. You can choose to let the challenge consume you and take control of your life. Or you can choose evaluate the situation and determine it a temporary station on your journey and you will get past it, go over it, move through it to get to your destination. Life’s challenges will come to you but they cannot be your center.

You can choose to challenge life in such a way that you handle it and the elements it brings. When you know what you want, where you are going and how you plan on getting there, you challenge life. Your outlook on life has to be that you cannot always control the challenges but you are not fearful of facing them. By challenging life you stay ready and open to moving forward.

So when faced with a challenge in life take the time and determine: Are you challenging life or is life challenging you?

~~YoTrip

Thursday Thinking by YoTrip for January 20, 2011-Expect the Best (Vol.1, Iss.3)

Image via Wikipedia

“Expect the Best”

Years ago a telecommunications giant had a slogan that would make their customers sit up and take notice. The customer service representative would say, “Thank you for calling, how may we exceed your expectations?” The leaders of this company must have felt an incredible sense of confidence to go out on a limb and set the bar high for the level of service they will give to their customers. Each time a customer connected with this company, they were greeted with what they could expect to get from their experience with the company. This company sought to give their customers the best service they could offer them. 

The way this company focused on setting a tone for their customers placed them in a category of a company seeking to give the best service. All companies should be as devoted to finding a way to deliver a high level of service that exceeds their customers’ expectations. Unfortunately, customers expect the best in service and find that the reality is many companies give less than what is expected. At a time when service in the spotlight, customers are not receiving the best and are forced to deal with the reality.

Companies have an opportunity to raise the standards and the level of service they provide. Now is the time to examine how service is delivered to customers. If customers are not experiencing service that exceeds their expectations, then a company is not giving their best. Companies have to recognize that giving the customers the best service is what customers expect and more importantly what they deserve.~~YoTrip
