What do you do when you don’t respect a co-worker (or even a customer for that matter).<\/p>\n
We just don’t like the way they behave and really wish they would be different.<\/p>\n
We really have a hard time working with them (or serving them if they’re a customer)<\/p>\n
and we hate the way this whole situation makes us feel inside.<\/p>\n
Well, there’s our starting point.<\/p>\n
Inside.<\/p>\n
Inside you and inside of me.<\/p>\n
We can’t make them change to make us feel better. They’ve got their reasons for the way they’re acting and those reasons are perfectly fine to them.<\/p>\n
We will lose when we engage in the “try to change them game”.<\/p>\n
The game we can win is the “I can change things in me.”<\/p>\n
What we’re really after is just to feel good about our work, our work day and the fruits of our labor.<\/p>\n
And what’s happening is we think this person who we don’t respect is messing all this up for us.<\/p>\n
Knowing that we can’t change them we can try something like this to feel better:<\/p>\n
“I accept them for who they are (I don’t have to like or condone) and I accept their reasons are valid for them.”<\/p>\n
“I will focus on who I want to be.”<\/p>\n
We live in a very diverse world.<\/p>\n
We’re not going to respect everybody but we do need to work together.<\/p>\n
What will make our inner emotions feel better more than anything else is the self-respect we gain from knowing that we’ve always looked for the solution not the division and gave it our best effort.<\/p>\n
I support you all in this.<\/p>\n
