Do you consider the end of the day throughout it? Or are you stuck in the moment, caught up in a whirlwind of emotions, captured in the small picture?
It’s overwhelming in the moment, but at the end of the day, whoever is causing you stress, is just a person, likely heading back home to be with their equally demanding family. The aggressive client wanting a discount for no reason is just a person, likely heading back home to make his or her special someone feel special. The fevered parent you had to console is just a person, likely heading back home to deal with all the trials and tribulations of being a parent.
It’s not that every person is fighting their own battle, it’s that many of them are losing it.
You get the opportunity each day to help them fight. That is a privilege in my opinion.
Stay Positive & People Aren’t That Bad When You See Them As People
