My God, my family, my friends, myself.
The past few weeks I've had strong feelings of self-doubt. Especially at work. I've decided this evening to focus on the things that matter most to me and not let the other stuff get me down.
Sure, it's hard when someone at work sends you a crappy email that's out-of-line. After which, everything goes wrong when dealing with this person resulting in more things for them to point out as your shortcomings...sigh.
But what's harder is reminding myself that the person who made me feel bad isn't really who matters. This is my struggle that I vow to work at.
I'll begin by referring to the list above because they are what matters most to me...AMEN!
As my baby girl, Teresa, says every night, "Good night, mama....sweet dreams, mama....I love you, mama....sweet dreams, mama..." Repeat until the bedroom door closes.
SWEET DREAMS MY FELLOW 2-HOUR MOMS!
You are good enough, smart enough, and doggoneit people like you. You are the most "High potential" person I work with and you are amazing at your job. Don't let someone else's uncertainty about their job security affect your confidence. Tensions are high right now and everyone is on edge. Its rare that I get any friendly emails anymore. All are barking and demanding and blaming and telling me that I should be doing things a different way. Most of my phone calls are from team members asking me how they should respond to an email they received where someone was attacking them. I just keep trying to remember that we all got to where we are by doing amazing things. We work hard, we do great work, and it won't be long before the stresses have moved on and we can get back to being on top of the world.
