Can you put boundaries around what happens in a given day? Can you keep it enclosed in the specific situation, the momentary emotion, the sudden thought?
Professional setbacks don’t have to spill into your personal life. A rejection or even a big failure do not have to determine your next actions or take away from your motivation. Someone being rude does not mean that every person you will meet from there onwards will be deserving a cold stare.
What happens is in the moment. The story we build around it can stay with us for a long time.
What happens is immutable. The story we build around it can be shaped however we prefer.
It’s a superpower to reclaim.
