Maybe this seems too simplistic, but I still feel it has merit.
It is part of an email my brother sent me today.
"Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or ... you can choose to be in a bad mood
I choose to be in a good mood."
and
Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.
We definitely can't always choose what happens to us or what others do, and anxioux and John I feel for you in the situations you are facing, but we can choose what our reactions are going to be. John, I think that's probably a good move - move. And anxioux, your job seems like it inherently is going to include those stressful phone calls. But, is there some way to make them more rewarding/humorous (like make a list of the top ten insults?)? or take satisfaction in calming someone down when that is possible?
