Goal for the Day: Remove Yourself from Discomfort

Of course, there are some situations that you have to endure. It’s inevitable that you have to suffer through unpleasant meetings, stand in line, deal with difficult people and make phone calls that you dread. However, there are dozens of undesirable situations that you just don’t have to suffer through.


Remember, you have the power to walk away. Unless your livelihood depends on the situation, you can just leave it behind. There’s no reason to suffer abuse at anyone’s hands. If you encounter belligerent or unpleasant people, or find yourself in an unnecessarily combative situation, you have the right to leave and move on.

Your top priority is making sure that you’re safe and comfortable. Knowing when to remove yourself from discomfort is the first step.
