Resist the urge to revisit decisions made this week. You need to make peace with your actions because others already have.
Stop trying to win the approval of someone who delights in withholding it. This is what people do when they’re not as good as all that.
The irony of questioning others’ advice is it gets you to rely more on your own judgment. You’ll find you’re not so green as all that.
You want to build bridges, not burn them. If you have to swallow your pride to make nice then do it. Egos heal a lot faster than broken trust.
Things played out like you said they would and now this person’s back. But the question remains: can you read the writing on the wall when it comes to yourself?
Disappointments can be good. You tend to settle for what you get when things come easily. Now you have to ask more from yourself.
