Being around others means that most of the times you will not get it your way.

You can fight that. Most bad managers do. Parents and kids alike often do. Partners sometimes do. And that rarely changes the fact that you will not get it your way.

Better to embrace it then. Allocate space in your plan – both mental and physical – for others to be. Be ready to accept and flex boundaries. Clarify where the limit is and stick to that in all circumstances.

We are all in it for our own betterment.
