Is work personal?

Are there times in your life when things happen that you take them personally?

Well if you do, you are not alone. There have been times when I’ve taken the smallest thing so personal that it ruined the rest of my day. How sad is that!

What can you do?

Remember that whatever it is that has been said or done by others, it’s not about you. It should not ruin your day whether your actions or words are being criticized. Why do I say that? Because I’ve learned that I am the director of my own story. People are entitled to their own opinion, but I don’t have to take their opinion and wreck my day.

If you want to make your life miserable, you can do it.

But answer me this; why would you do that to yourself and your day?
