How Accepting Where You’re At Today Will Help You Move Ahead Tomorrow
I stood in her office door and said I think I hate my neighbor and want to kill him. Like I feel a very real high level of anger that I can’t control. One hell of a thing to say to someone early on a Monday morning right as work is starting. I knew she would take it. She walks around the office as if to say try me. She is blunt, rude, and precocious. There is absolutely no sense of professionalism or political correctness coming from her. Its why I stopped at her door. I don’t want her on a project, but I sure do want to share my dysfunction with her. Her response?
It’s where you’re at.
I stared at her and frowned. What? She walked closer towards me. It’s where you’re at. You are at a time and place in life and this is where you are. Angry at your neighbor and ready to kill him. She walked away and went back to work. I walked slowly down the hall amused. She is so funny and perhaps wise?
It is true my neighbor didn’t take COVID well and started to react bizarrely. That we found him at odd times in our back yard and he suddenly started letting his dog crap all over it. Its true that we looked up one Friday morning while we were on the back patio having coffee and he was standing there. What are you doing? Having alone time.
