You need to wake up and smell the coffee. Yes, a certain someone has faults, but are they really as bad as all that?
There’s a reason why you made the decision you did and you need to stand by it. Going back on it will only lead you full circle to where you are today.
You know that you should take the high road and that there’s nothing to be gained by sinking to an opponent’s level, but that won’t be happening today.
Your expectations will always be too high and your painted future too rosy, but that’s what comes from being an eternal optimist.
Shortfalls happen as do last minute bouts of cold feet. Be reassuring and you’ll succeed at bringing anxious parties back to the table.
Be ready to do some strategic repositioning. It’s the only way you can hope to escape a very tight and awkward corner.
