When I got elected, I thought that in order to succeed you had to be friends with everyone and have everyone love you and always 100% happy with what you're doing and how you're doing it at all times. That implied that I wasn't telling people whenever something was making me feel bad / sad / mad. I started 2010 with the objective to be more honest with people whenever something's wrong. This involves that I accept that I will not always be smiling, warm and fuzzy. I now consider it a much more realistic objective to be smiling/warm/fuzzy when people treat me respectfully and care about me and others.
Today, I took action and claimed the respect someone had been lacking towards me and towards others.
Windows didn't break. Walls didn't collapse. Nobody died. I didn't die.
Even sounds like it was the right thing to do.
Let's hope there'll be more of those situations where I take ownership of how I feel and make sure I make things right.
Sometimes the greatest lesson to learn is from walls not collapsing. Weird eh?
