NOT everything is about you...

While I am the number one supporter for everyone being their own main character in their own life, sometimes everything is not about you. Now you may be wondering how I believe both of those statements to be true at the same time but let me explain. Whether you are struggling with a coworker, a friend, or even a stranger, remember that you cannot control their actions. Personally, I am struggling with a not so nice coworker, and I had to take a step back and remind myself that it is not about me. In this situation I know that I am a hard worker and I take pride in that and the complaints from my coworker do not reflect on the work that I do. Something that I have learned is a lot of people project their personal lives and negativities onto people who do not deserve it. I am 100% confident in the fact that I do not deserve the disrespect from my coworker, so I can only assume that the underlying cause is due to something in her personal life. Possibly something was lacking in her life, and she needed to get it out of her system. I am not saying that I believe this is fair, but to anyone who is struggling with something similar I just want you to know that it has nothing to do with you and you do not need to question yourself and your abilities. While this could possibly be a niche topic, I believe that this can be used in many different scenarios of life. I also just want to remind everyone that just because someone is trying to bring negativity into your life you do not have to accept it. Again, you cannot control someone's actions, but you can control your own reaction to their actions. So, I have decided that I will show up for my next shift with a cute outfit on and a slick back, because I also believe in look good, do good, and go into work with a positive attitude. If I happen to run into said coworker I will politely and professionally confront her on the situation, because remember while I believe this had nothing to do with me, I will not be someone's punching bag. Remember ladies not everything is about you but also set boundaries for yourself!!  

 

p.s. you are so the main character in your story <3
