Accepting the things that can’t be changed needn’t be defeatist. It may even come as a welcome relief.
It’s OK to be transparent, but you don’t want to go overboard. You may be more invested in answering people’s questions than they are in asking them.
You’re under pressure to toe the line at work, but don’t. Show colleagues that it’s better to address an issue than it is to table it.
You can’t expect people to see their own blind spots. It’s why they’re called blind spots. Use a hypothetical situation to help a loved one see the light today.
You don’t see how helping out a colleague does much for you, but think again. It’s hard to judge the breadth of a ripple effect in the moment.
You run the risk of being slapped down by going out of bounds, but the truth is there’s nothing to be gained by staying inside them.
