Some people require almost perfect circumstances in their life to be satisfied and happy. If they have any problems, conflicts, or adversity, they are not happy. They end their day feeling uneasy if not stressed and frustrated.
Are you one who learns from difficult experiences and makes life enhancing adjustments? Or one who tries to forget them? Do you reflect on circumstances with the intent to improve yourself? Or with the hope that others will improve themselves? Do you press the save button or delete button on life’s circumstances? Some studies say this single choice is the root of people’s success … or lack of success.
the question many of us are asking is “will these instigators of stress ever diminish or go away?” Can we go back to a less stressful lifestyle? Or is this the new normal that we need to learn to live with?
If you or your team work in a feedback-poor culture because feedback is perceived to be at odds with being a team player, or other reasons, consider this – great teams encourage and compliment each other but they also help each other become better.
The key to being able to speak in public, take criticism, not depend on others’ approvals, and fully apply yourself in life is to accept yourself. Self-assured people strive to be their best, but also give themselves a break.
