Ok, I realize it may sound flippant, insensitive, and detached but a lot of us would fare much better in this life if every now and again we gave it a big WHO CARES!!
Obviously I'm not speaking of the important things like your health, your loved ones or the environment.
I'm talking about the person who didn't park within the lines, the person who forgot to invite you to a meeting, and the one who left the coffee pot empty.
Honestly, if you let yourself be affected by all these little things, you will be one big, miserable mess.
What's the sense in getting outraged by your colleague down the hall who didn't come by and say hello, or the not so nice email from a co-worker who was having a crappy morning or maybe even with yourself for eating a dessert at lunch.
Seriously, you have better things to do then to allow yourself to get stressed about these things.
I've even developed a small test for this kind of thing, I call it "The 100 years test".
In 100 years I'll be dead and will it really matter that someone forgot to make a new pot of coffee - probably not so much!!
It's a great litmus test to see what you should actually be concerned about and what you can just give a big WHO CARES!!!! to.
Life is too short to let the little things make you miserable. Remember you create your own happiness and you decide what's important!!
