Do you fancy yourself a very disciplined person? Do you know that you can wake up one day and suddenly discover that your discipline is only so because you have not been tempted with what you truly desire!
Most people are always eager to highlight the positive aspects of themselves or their loved ones. They boast of their abilities to do this or that or that. In fact, some hardly believe they can do anything wrong; if there is something wrong, then an external factor could have caused it. If you have been close to people like this, you will understand how frustrating it is to work with them. However, no matter the type of character displayed by anyone, you should learn how to move beyond that character flaw and get your job done.
We do not know the type of people life can thrust in our way. The best thing is for one to develop the right mindset. Mindsets like being always positive, looking beyond people’s character flaws, achieving your goals despite obstacles, etc. Having the right orientation about life in general can help you to achieve results that others may not be able to achieve. You may pride yourself on being disciplined, tenacious, straightforward, etc, you may even attribute your success to these attributes. I want you to understand that despite these attributes, you may find yourself tempted or not in the best frame of mind, and that you fall for something you wouldn’t fall for under your usual circumstances. So, no matter how difficult people are, or how not worth your time, remember that you’re human and may still find yourself plagued by the same thing you criticized.
Therefore, be careful, learn how to tolerate others, and always maintain the right attitude.
Have a wonderful week!
