Calendar Books by Allen James - Daily Reading - "The Journey: A Calendar Book"

Our reading for June 8th from Allen James' "The Journey: A Calendar Book"....

"Be aware of those with whom you work".

We spend the majority of our lives at work....2nd to the time we spend sleeping (such a travesty), thus being very aware of our co-workers helps immensely in our journey to personal success.

As I've stated before, there aren't too many people with whom I can't get along, but there have been three times in my life where a single co-worker has created a work environment where it has been a challenge to say the least.

Trust has always come easy for me, possibly to a fault. I've learned the difficult way to make sure I tread lightly around co-workers.

Low self-image and feelings of inadequacy can encourage those co-workers who seem to think competition is a standard in the workplace to spread their unhappiness like a virus.

I've found the best way to handle this situation is to just do my job. Being affable and getting through the day sometimes is my only life saver.

Certainly I'm not saying I'm miserable at work, the opposite is usually true. I love what I do and the fruits of my labor. I just am aware much more these days of the fact bullying does't cease after adolescence.

Be aware of those of with whom you work. Know the "good guys" from the "bad guys", then steer clear of the bad guys and always strive to be one of the good guys. Personal success comes no other way.
