Work has been pretty difficult for me lately. The people I work with are difficult and rude. One day on the way to work I was looking down at all the clovers growing by the sidewalk. I thought to myself, "If I find a four leaf clover, that means I'm going to have a really good day at work". Well, within ten minutes of arriving at work I was being yelled at for something that was outside of my control and something that I shouldn't have been berated for. But because I had found that four-leaf clover earlier that morning and decided I was going to have a good day, instead of reacting with anger or annoyance, I reacted in a calm and positive way. And because I reacted that way, that particular property manager later apologized for the way she talked to me and acknowledged that it wasn't my fault.
And also later that day the other assistant gave me a gift. I had admired her water cup and mentioned that I wanted to get one too. She surprised me by picking up a cup of my own.
As most of you know, my love language (the way I feel most loved) is when I receive gifts from others, so this really made my day.
Basically the main point of this post is, I can choose my attitude even if my circumstances are less than ideal. I work with some real jerk face, bad attitude, high school acting, rude dude crude, cussing, careless, tactless, demanding people. BUT, I don't have to let it affect me. I can carry on having a good attitude and trying to be a better person.
