"Bad business gets you bad business." My mentor told me that oh so many years ago, and it becomes truer to me every time I have reason to remember it.
We learn as long as we stay in the payback mentality, we're dealing in bad business...no matter how justified our ego assures us we are. If we stay in payback, we reap rues, regrets and remorses...even (or especially) when we "win" the current round of payback...for another round is coming, we know it and we cringe even as we gear up for it.
Since our supposed goal is to get, be and maintain happy, joyous and free, we must detach from the payback mentality, that "don't get mad, get even" hothouse for resentments. Loose it and let it go must be our new and constant mantra.
One sure way to be a winner is to work toward the other one feeling like a winner...there is our "sleeping pill." There's our assurance we won't be awakened at 2:00 AM by our own shoulda, woulda, coulda and poor, pitiful, put-upon me.
We'll awaken at our chosen hour feeling happy, joyous and free...groggy and looking forward to our coffee, maybe, but resentment free. Let's hear an "AMEN!"
Thank you.
