This is my happenings – it may be of some help to your situation? I’m learning the QTIP method of things QUIT TAKING IT PERSONALLY. Do you like these people? Are they worth your time? I work with a bunch of self centred halfwits who think the world belongs to them alone and should you not do as they say at any given moment you will be judged, ruled ‘incompetent’ and excluded from practice as a result. At the end of the day I am who I am, I have no control over what others think, see, or act on – what I do have control over is how I personally react to all this.
I have a belief that there is something higher in the world working it’s way in my life and I’m merely on a learning journey of discovery and whatever that may be, I can choose to let go of the happenings, and just focus on being the best me I can be regardless of what others think of the situation. It’s not easy, and it doesn’t happen overnight. It has given me focus on just living rather than trying to meet the need of each individual that enters my space at any given moment.
Good luck in your personal learning journey of discovery, may it be a fruitful one.
