John and his colleague wanted to come to a conclusion in a meeting. They were facing issues dealing with someone who may potentially destroy their company culture and career. It was a heated discussion.
During the
heated discussion, they made personal remarks that hurt both of them “Keep relationships
with people on your own responsibility, each one of us has a white beard now”. Because
they both like each other so much it hurts both of them.
John was definitely
hurt; he was the one who received this comment. He was wise enough to sleep
over it. The next morning, John realized how much he was dependent on his colleagues to make decisions if they should keep relations with an individual or not to keep
their interests safe.
John learned
that he should accept his individual responsibility for building and maintaining relations with the people.
He begins to experience mixed feelings of hurt and of being thankful to his colleague for waking
him up. He thought “Perhaps it is needed to embrace my freedom from dependency”.
As the day
is about to over John is more focused on his responsibilities. Instead of relying
on others, he makes his decisions to set and complete the urgent tasks at hand.
John thanked
his colleague for awakening, and realised “accepting the responsibility is the big leap towards attaining real freedom from dependency”.
Let me know
in the comments, what you do to remind yourself of your responsibilities.
Till next
time J
