Goal for the Day: Untangle Your Life

It’s easy to get caught up in the little dramas that surround us. Sometimes, we get roped into things which don’t really concern us. It’s important to consider your own well-being and comfort. Yes, we should be supportive of our friends and co-workers when they’re having a rough spell.


However, very often, we become embroiled in petty little arguments and scenes that have nothing to do with us and only serve to drag us down. It is possible to untangle yourself from a web of mayhem.

You can be supportive without becoming a party to behavior that you may not endorse. When someone comes to you with trite complaints and quarrels, simply keep your boundaries. You can listen without becoming an active participant in a situation which may end up harming you. Rise above gossip and bad-mouthing other people. Remember to take the high road. You are responsible for your own actions. While people can influence us, the decision of how you react is up to you.
