I get bitter
over things that are not my fault.
Today I came
into the shop and had a cake order that was due in two hours that no one had
told me about despite the fact that it usually takes twenty four hours to do a
cake. It was a nightmare. But, I got it done. However, I was so irritated about
everything with the cake that I was bitter the rest of my shift.
Sometimes I
get really bitter about things that can’t be helped and mull them over in my
mind until they become borderline obsessive. You know, like when someone cuts
you off in traffic and you take personally and are in a bad mood the rest of
the day.
I think the
best way to fix this is to go back to what I did when I did as a kid: give
everyone the benefit of the doubt. For all I know, there was a six year old
girl with lymphoma on the other end of that cake order. It’s hard to be bitter
when there might be a good reason for these things.
Who could deny
a cake to a sick kid?
Challenge to
my Readers:
Don’t be
bitter about the stuff you can’t help. Try to think on the bright side and stay
positive and it might make everything a little easier. Life isn’t all sunshine
and rainbows, but sometimes when you grin and bear it, it can be worth it.
