It's that time of year again, when we think about changes we want to make in ourselves.

Is it possible to be grateful for having a difficult boss?
My theory: Not only is it possible, but it's also better for you and your mental health. The struggle will make you stronger.
Doesn't make it easier or more fun, but remember that it will benefit you in ways you may not be able to anticipate now.

I've heard the commentary--perhaps it's a bit tongue-in-cheek--that YOU are the common denominator in all of your failed relationships.
Guess what? It's true. Whether you're in a romantic relationship or dealing with the Boss from Hell, whatever happens, you (and your brain) follows you. Your mindset and thought processes sometimes sabotage you.
How do you break out of that cycle?

I used to think that what I wanted out of life was to be comfortable.
Then I learned that avoiding discomfort only created a different discomfort. I am doomed to experience discomfort.
So, what discomfort am I willing to experience? The discomfort of choosing something new, different, unknown? Or the discomfort of staying in my comfort zone, knowing that there is more out there for me?

Our fundamental advantage over every other type of creation is our ability to make decisions.
Either we decide, or we are a victim of the decider. Which are you?
I'm discovering that there are layers of victimhood and the victim mentality, and it is surprisingly easy to slip into being a victim.
You are not a victim. You are the product of your own decisions. Choose well.
