Change the Subject to “I”

My favorite person once told me this.

When you’re frustrated by things outside you, change the subject of the sentence from “she,” “he,” “they,” or “it” to “I.”

What can I do to make it better?

When you change the perspective and take full responsibility, your life starts to change for the better.

Sometimes it also helps not to react too quickly. Situations change, and we need time to think. Messages breed more messages. Emails breed more emails.

When you’re strong enough, you care less about what others think of you. If someone upsets you, let go of the grudge and let compassion fill the space.
