You Can't Control the Wind

Sometimes what's most frustrating, is that we can't control what other people do. We would be so much happier if other people behaved the way we wanted them to, wouldn't we? Unfortunately, the world doesn't revolve around us, and we can't get everything that we want! LOL. Plus, if you think about it, I can guarantee that other people think that we can be equally as frustrating. The only thing we can do is focus on what we can control... how we react to things. We can control our attitudes and how we view the world, whether or not we hold onto things from the past, or whether or not we give up because things get difficult. Today, I choose to have a positive outlook and look at all challenges as a growth opportunity.

During said meeting, one of my co-workers, and good friend, got up to get water for our guests from a mini fridge in a cabinet located in the meeting room. But, she wasn't really quiet or discrete about it, and proceeded to slam the cabinet doors, while our guests were speaking. Maybe it's because I've lived in an apartment for too long, and the sound of my neighbors slamming their doors and kitchen cabinets has become a big pet peeve of mine. But, to me, her actions seemed a little rude. It got me wondering... why do people do some of the things they do? After doing some Googling, it seems like there are many reasons for why people slam things like doors, cabinets, and toilet seats. Reasons range from anger, lack of awareness, laziness, selfishness, bad manners, and lack of consideration for others. I immediately did some self-reflection. While I'm pretty good about not...
