On occasion at work, we run into with people who want to do us harm. Maybe they are trying to sully our reputation. Perhaps they are threatening a lawsuit. Or they could be claiming credit for our ideas, or bullying, or otherwise playing dirty.
With such people, we may be tempted to fight them, crush them, or at least prove them wrong.
Don’t. If we fight back, we are lowering our buzz to their level. They win and we lose. Instead of them moving out of our lives, fighting them keeps them close and extends the pain.
Take the high road: care for and yourself as you need to and forgive the other. You staying at a higher buzz is the fastest way to be rid of their low-buzz ways.
In your corner,
Mike
