Today, I've allowed myself to become angry. In a professional sense, I feel I should just let the incident roll of my back because it's a waste of my energy because I want my professional environment to be peaceful. But I believe change comes out of conflict. And a goal of mine this year is being more confident and building my backbone! By conflict, I dont mean hair pulling and a storm of curse words, but conflict through uncomfortable conversations where both parties are hearing each other...actively listening and choosing to make change for the better.
Unfortunately, it seems a lot of people who I want to hear me the most don't know how to actively hear others...not just me. I'm not taking this personally, because this is the trend of this individual...and so many people, even me on occasion I'm sure! But, this person is constantly thinking about they want to say next and they continue to live in their own bubble of righteousness. This type of dynamic makes it so hard to help the situation and in my case, to help myself! It's driving me crazy because my desire to make change is stifled by my powerlessness. I can't make them listen, I can't make them care or see the "problem..."
