Because our office is moving soon and we are in the middle of packing i have to share office space with my boss. Its been that way since last June. Its really not a problem for me. I totally love my boss as most of you know and shes a very very good friend and has helped and supported me thought the past few years. For those of you that have met her you know how awesome she is.
Anyway i sometimes have to shut my ears as sometimes i over hear things that i really shouldnt. lol. Ive learnt to shut off when shes talking to someone about something that i shouldnt hear about. But what i do overhear by mistake she totally knows i would never repeat. Shes stopped telling me.
You didnt hear that right, and Dont ever repeat anything you hear, as she knows i never would.
Anyway today she was giving advice to someone whos been having a hard time with personal issues and so i shut off like i always do and just caught one thing. It was.
Life is too short to worry about what others are saying!
Such a simple thing but how true is that? It got me thinking about it a little. We are all human of course and hurt very easily. Its very very hard not to feel hurt and upset when you find out others have been talking about you or making fun of you beween themselves or on the internet. Im sure we have all felt that at some time in our lifes. Some even go to great lengths to make sure the people there talking about can not see what there saying but like everything it always comes out or gets back anyway. And yes feelings are hurt. Most of the time its not even true like most gossip, things get twisted or things get added to make the story that much more interesting or the person that much more evil. lol. But people get hurt and they learn not to trust those people anymore and they choose to walk away and stay away. But my boss is so right about it. If any of us was able to learn to push aside the hurt feelings that come with gossip and remember that quote when we needed too. How much better and happier would we be? Of course weve human and it takes work like everything else. But i for one am going to always remember that quote when i see or hear something that normally would hurt me. Its a great quote to remember and go by. My boss lady has great quotes. One ive always loved from her that she uses a lot is.
Keep it to yourself, cause what i dont know cant hurt me!!
That one really says it all. What a better world we would all live in if everyone applied those quotes in there lifes.
