Every interaction can be a valuable one if you end it by letting the other person know something you appreciate about them/about what they’ve done.
If you’re responding to more email chains than you are starting, then that’s the difference between being reactive and proactive. Is the one you are now the one you actually want to be?
In any exchange for services, it’s our responsibility to help the other person or group as much as possible. Thinking “we’re paying them to do it” is setting yourself up for future frustration.
Recall, stress comes from the gap between what we want and the reality in front of us, but we can overcome it when we focus on the moment.
Stay Positive & Go Get’em
