You walked in, and the air changed. It gives you an advantage and you're enough of a challenge. I'm not trying to be a challenge. It's one of the things that makes you one.

Nora Roberts
About This Quote

The last thing you want is to come in and be a challenge. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. If you want to have an advantage in a relationship, you have to let the other person be a challenge. When you walk through the door, the atmosphere changes.

It’s a shift in power that can be very uncomfortable for both people. That shift shifts the dynamic of the relationship. There’s nothing wrong with being a challenge if you walk through the door with an open heart and an open mind.

But if you come in with your own agenda and expectations, you will get yourself into trouble before you get out of it.
