Your Feelings Are Telling You Something Important

I was 19 when I witnessed what I thought to be an injustice in my workplace. It kept me up all night so the next day I went to my managers office to rant about it.

After about 5 minutes of me explaining what I didn’t like about this other person, who had a higher ranking role than I did, my manager interrupted me to ask me one thing…”so, this person you are angry about…is there anything that you can do to change who they are and what you don’t like about them?”

My answer was “No.”

He then said, “My guess is that this person isn’t bothered or having their day messed up over this so why should you waste your energy on something you can’t change?”

I immediately became calm and recognized that I had a choice to react. Life has been much more peaceful since then. Accept the things you cannot change and simply remove those things from your life instead of wasting energy on them. Pay attention to what your feelings are telling you. Don’t become a slave to reactions.
