Just go about your way, if somebody annoys you.
To be annoyed or not be annoyed – it is your choice. People
can behave in ways that irritate us or upset us, yet avoid letting them get to
you. We have choices that allow us to move around, move through and move on, to
the next place of most potential. We need not subject ourselves to prolonged
pain and agony.
Practise patience, endurance, consideration and respect. Suspend
judgement for a while. After all, we are entitled to our own opinions (and these
can be temporal and abstract things). Steven
Covey wrote that we have our own Circle of Influence and Circle
of Concern. What are you doing to affect both spaces around you? How
can you expand one and contract the other?
Leadership Lessons:
Learn to let go. Proceed to the next useful piece. If something isn’t working,
do something else. Instead of changing them, we can change our mind, judgements
and perceptions of them. Work with what is within your circle of influence and control.
