He really is a great Guy!

If you have ever dated and been in a committed relationship, at some point there will be a fight. It will start because of something he did or something he didn’t do. Or it may be something he said or didn’t say. It happens in every relationship. You get upset, cry and run for comfort to your friends and family. “He said and then he said and I did and then he did. He is such a jerk!” Your friends and family support you for what he did. “Why are you letting him treat you that way? You are better than him. Move on! What your friends don’t realize is that they are hearing only one side of the story. And of course once you are able to hash things out with the beau you get back together like nothing ever happened. Except, your friends and family did not see the make-up and the mutual understanding of the fight. They hold on only to what you told them and after time start to resent him. If this continues your friends either learn to hate your boyfriend or decide to find other friends. In business when an order doesn’t go as expected, a client you feel has mistreated you or a misunderstanding occurs, you vent to employees. When you vent to employees, they begin to feel the same resentment as your friends do to your boyfriend. And when that client calls or an order is placed snide remarks are flown around. They no longer want to answer the phone when the client calls and the relationship is affected. Of course just like the girlfriend, you forgot what the mistreatment was about and glad that they are a client. As a business owner, manager, and employee you need to be careful what is said around co-worker. One disgruntled apple can spoil the moral of the company. I have read the book, “Law of Attraction: The Science of Attracting More of What You Want and less of what you don’t”, by Michael Losier. In it states that you get more of what you give. So – if you give bad energy, you get bad energy. Although it is tough to hold it in at times, find yourself a buddy that will listen and not take it personal. Vent and move on. Isn’t that what life is about- letting it go and being happy.
