Today's gratitude blog is about changing one's perspective on difficult situations.
Quite often we can find ourselves in uncomfortable surroundings, and feel trapped to change them. It can often be a relationship, or workplace, or simply an afternoon social event that you feel you cannot get out of without sacrificing something you don't want to sacrifice.
The trick is to change your perspective. Rather than suffer through the pain, try to find how that pain is teaching you a new skill.
Today I chatted with an old colleague who I have started working with again at a new workplace. We both agreed that the fast pace (sometimes breakneck speed) of our previous workplace has trained us in super-ninja-work skills.
Our time management is second to none, and we don't waste any time procrastinating in "getting shit done"!
We both laughed - what was once uncomfortable in many ways has been a wonderful lesson.
