I know, I know, it's another idiom about life. But you know that there is always truth in them. Seemingly innocent statements can have a big impact on your life.
We've all been in situations where we've been disappointed over an outcome. Sometimes those disappointments are from family, sometimes from friends, and sometimes at work.
I've been around long enough (yeah! retirement is looming closer) to know that a business is in business to make money and not all decisions about hiring, firing and advancements can be taken personally. I also know that having the expectation that a person will behave in a particular form or fashion is often unrealistic.
What I've come to realize, and try to practice daily, is treating others with respect and kindness and doing my job to the best of my ability. Should the person I'm treating kindly not care, nor respond in similar fashion, I know that I did what was right. The same thing goes for work. At the end of the day it's just a job. It doesn't define me, limit me, or make me anything other than an employee.
Our focus should be on what God thinks us and how much he loves us.
Give without expecting and you will prosper.
