Scandal

Gladiators, suit up!!

Yes, tonight is the return of “Scandal,” one of the highest rated and most controversial shows on television. I know, I know, the main plot of the show is based on the steamy, love affair of Fitz (the married POTUS) and Olivia (the Fixer), but if you watch the show you also know the hundred other non-sexual plots and story lines that are going on. At the end of the day, each character – Fitz, Millie, Cyrus, Olivia – works hard to defend what they believe in. They will lie, cheat, kill and steal, in order to keep their secrets private. For those who don’t have the wit and skills of these main characters, they go to Olivia Pope, the fixer, for help. At the end of the day, “it’s handled.”

Now, I’m not suggesting that we should lie, cheat, steal or covet the FLOTUS’ husband, but we need to stand behind our beliefs, whatever they may be. For many of us, our dreams and goals get pushed to the back too easily, because of someone else’s beliefs or ability to push harder. You aren’t going to get that position you really want, if you don’t show your boss that you are capable of performing the tasks. You can’t blame the demise of your neighborhood or city on elected officials, if you didn’t even take the time to vote.

So suit up, and handle your business!!
