the delicate dance with your coworkers

i’ll never forget the day i walked into a job and it was so uncomfortable.
it was on some serious high school shit.
it happened 3 years ago and i learned quick that it’s easy for folks to switch up.
all it took was the words of one person to change many opinions.
it got so bad that someone wanted to fight me too.
some of these folks i stood up for too.

All it took was one person

this is what can happen with coworkers…

life sucks and that’s okay

i heard a quote the other day that really stuck with me.
for some,
it might be negative,
but i will bring it around to something positive.
i promise.
so the quote went:

“Life is suffering.”

the origin of said quote is unknown,
but from research,
it may or may not have come from buddha.
life might have it’s moments of suckage,
but that suffering is actually good for you.
when i look back at my own suffering…

the bugs may get you

if you look closely,
you’ll always find a lesson in something.
these days,
my job teaches me so much of not WHAT to do.
they love to drive folks crazy putting out fires that ain’t even happen yet.
i’m learning what it means to be uptight and high-strung.
i’ve noticed my mood has been all outta wack because of my frustration.
it has made me become pessimistic and angry all the fuckin’ time.

i’m more spiritual over being religious these days.
don’t get me wrong,
i’ll still go to church,
but i don’t get obsessed about God like others do.
i feel like being religious doesn’t allow you to make mistakes.
i’m an imperfect fox and i fuck up a majority of the time.
i don’t want to run to the altar for everything i do.
the “new age” foxhole always keeps me update with the latest universal news.
well a foxholer sent me the following…

take a mental picture of what you want and move on (for The Universe)

i’m starting to understand The Universe as i go.
before,
it was really confusing to me,
but i think that was the issue.
i was making it a bigger deal than it needed to be.
for a long time,
i asked The Universe:

“Why isn’t this happening?!
I asked for it!
Dammit!”

…and nothing.
that seems to have changed because i’m getting more “in sync” than ever.
this morning,
i was on my twitter feed and saw this tweet:
