Are you the type of person who lets their attitude with people be controlled by your life events, or the day’s events?
To a certain extent, our current state of mind is a reflection of how we are feeling. So if we had a real rough day, we could find ourselves getting short with people unnecessarily, be annoying etc… However, I do not like it when people dump their negative feelings, whatever the cause may be, on other people and expect everyone to understand.
I was that sort of person for a very short span of time , long time ago. Not anymore. I know better now and deal with each person , each issue and each problem on case to case basis.
I am. So I try my best to keep myself happy no matter how difficult life is getting. I am usually around patients for most of the day so I can never let my problems affect them.
This is an excellent thread topic. One needs frequent reminders (at least I do) to not take the path of least resistance - take out the aftereffects of the day’s negative events on others. Never too late to change course.
