It's Never personal, or Is It?

The saying and particular in the business world, is that of:

"Don't take it personal, it is just business".

So please, explain it to me than what it is?

If you get, let's say, fired from your job, not because you did something wrong, but because the business is not doing well and needs to let people go, how would you feel?

It won't help your Soul, though. You are still hurt and you may think that you are not good enough.

the same goes for having your own business. You and your business are one, other wise you couldn't be successful, right?

Than, there is some sort of a "back stabbing" co-worker. who's work finally succeeded to get the promotion you have waited for it for so long. Wouldn't that be totally personal?

if not, than what really is?

But, there also is the unsatisfied person around you, not just business wise, but very close to your circle of family and friends. These attacks, conflicts etc. are the hardest to overcome, to stay cool will be almost impossible.

For your own sake, you have to make a choice.



Love, however, is always a good choice.

Love yourself first, than your are truly able to love others too.

Love, true Love, always prevails, and this is personal!!!



Have a good week

Love

Thanks for this great and very true blog Sylvia. xx

You are welcome Chez. :)

You are right Sylvia, we can only treat people as good as we are, not as bad as they are. That is the difference with those of us with good heart.

Thanks Elijah for your comment and support. :)

Thanks Sylvia your blog is helpful regards

My pleasure, Louise :)

It does us all good to step away from negative behavior, thanks Sylvia :)

This is certainly true, thanks Jude :)

Sometimes, we need to 'lovingly disengage' - that is very different from shunning or disowning someone.

Lovingly disengaging means you step out of an angry person's 'firing range' and get yourself to a safe place. You can still love that person but from a SAFE distance.

How someone behaves is their responsibility. How we react or respond is our responsibility.

If someone mistreats us or hurts us, it does NOT give us the right to mistreat or hurt them back. This is what I understand love is all about - to treat them with fairness, grace, kindness and be forgiving. But they are still accountable for their own attitude and actions.

And I agree, it is sometimes hard to stay cool. But someone has to be the cool guy or gal. :)

Thanks Myra, for your wonderful comment and insight :)

Ditto what both you and Michael said !

Thanks Steve, for stopping by :)

That is exactly the phrase which was used on March 31 of this year when my position was "eliminated". Thankfully I was not "eliminated", just my position. :-)

Sure it is personal, how can it be otherwise. But as the saying goes, that is "water under the bridge" and spending one nanosecond thinking about it is a total waste of time.

If not for that happening I would not have found WA. NOW THAT would have been a tragedy. All the rest...........not so much!

All the best,

Steve

Steve, somethings are blessings in disguise.

Almost 10 years ago, my husband was unfairly fired by his manager, who was a 'workplace bully'. Then, 2 years later, this 'workplace bully' was fired. My husband was able to find work because he had many references from other employees, due to his kind attitude towards others at work. But this 'workplace bully' is still not able to find work. I learned to forgive him but I will speak the truth, in a fair way, about how he treats others. Sad how some people don't learn to be kind.

Karma Marybeth - Karma. It is real!

That statement is used to make it seem like it's a third person and absolves them from responsibility. It's like break ups.....it's not you it's me! Still at the end of the day we have to learn to walk away and get on with our lives otherwise it is very depressing! You've raised a good point here Sylvia....I don't like that expression either: It's not personal, it's business! What, I am not a person? Lol!

Thanks Michael, for your support and your comment and insight. :)
