Life is a constant challenge. Career and family add to an already-challenging situation. Every day, we work at mitigating the inherent chaos of life and career, and most days we do good work.
All days; however, are not met with equal levels of grace.
How many of those daily challenges and difficulties are exacerbated by our emotion-driven attitudes toward them? Toward the messenger? Toward our bosses and supervisors? Toward our spouses? Toward strangers?
More often than not, our passions and emotions cloud the sky of reason, making each task feel like an infringement on our very soul.
More often than not, when we aren’t under the sway of egoic passions and emotions, we can clearly see the message without making it about the messenger.
Unless it’s unreasonable, don’t make it unreasonable.
Unless it’s personal, don’t make it personal.
Things are already difficult. They don’t need our help becoming more so.
