In the past one week I had a situation where I was conflicted with different emotions in my work place.
Around my workstation, I couldn't help but notice how happy we were and filled with sense of humor. I even thought that it would be a great day.
Later on in the day, a colleague asked for some assistance and I went to his workstation. Let us just say that was one big mistake I did that day. He kept on devaluing himself and comparing his earnings from his peers. I became a victim of his pact because however much i tried to console with him, he was bitter with my position too.
All I know when I got back to my seat, I wasn't the happy lad who left her seat few minutes ago.
My deskmates went on brightening the mood but I was already overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
First, I had to admit that I am not responsible for other people's choice of reason. If you want to stay low and mourn forever about that which is or work hard to make a change, it's your choice.
Second, I should not consume every emotion that crosses my path, that's dangerous. I should understand my own state and blend with it.
Third, in life how we react to things can either make us or destroy us. It is upto us. I decided to work towards my goals for the day, even the smallest achievements get me exuberant.
Emotions are viral and can cause severe life disturbance.
Lovely reading...
