Sometimes when you work hard at something you can miss where you could be more effective. Don’t bristle when an associate points it out.
Visualizing is wonderful. Just remember that the translation to reality isn’t seamless. Allow for bumps and lumps.
You’re about to throw in the towel when your faith is suddenly restored. Never underestimate the timeliness of a surprise twist.
Don’t feel bad about putting yourself first. Considering how self-absorbed friends have been lately, they clearly have no problem with it themselves.
It’s true expectations were inflated but what you’re left with isn’t so bad. Allow yourself time to readjust.
You’re not going to walk around on eggshells. Either people can be upfront about what they want or you will continue to ignore them.
