• • Ganske tankevækkende
• manage difficult personalities
• it’s an energy drainer to deal with people like this
• is it really necessary to react to everything a coworker does
• even it you know it is meant to spite or hurt you?
• what’s at stake and who is watching your reaction to that irksome coworker
• No one can steal your peace, but you don’t have to give it away by reacting to each and everything issue that comes up
• Stop giving them the reaction they want and the thrill of seeing you seethe will subside along with the need to be petty.
• The need to react to others in a negative manner is often about ourselves more so than it is about the actions of the other person.
• you’ve lost as you’ve given them your peace and power.
