How I did it
How to love my work
It took me
3 years
It made me

How I did it: The old job was full of weirdness that stressed me out.  The work was ok, but thepolitics stunk.  I took a less secure position in a more difficult area, but even now, a little over a year later, I walk into my office every morning thinking, "I LOVE MY JOB!"  Read how I did it…

I am terrible at compassion...

...and it bothers me. I have a generous spirit, so I am mostly able to meet people where they live… except when I don’t. Like today.

A man I know is treating me unfairly… I know his circumstances, and he’s miserable right now, but that still doesn’t quell my anger. Today he gave a flowery speech about how he used to be and how he’s changed while (to me) his actions are screaming otherwise.

The Dali Llama would say that if I want to be happy, I will find compassion for him my heart. I’ve been trying, but so far, I’m still just mad.

Was able to do this with a woman I don't like much...

... and figured that I would extend an olive branch. I didn’t expect it to be accepted, but my goodness – it was!

I guess sincerity counts for something.
