8 Fold Path--Living Right

I mentioned before that I started a contract that had a fairly negative environment and the boss was requesting that I treat people the same as he does. Lucky for me, I was able to get out of it and am starting in an environment closer to home that is more positive. People cannot always do this.

How do you live "right", speak "right", act "right"? I think you have to know your self and your weaknesses. This is a hard process. Most of us are too busy to get to know our selves, or we put family and children ahead of our own well being. This means that sometimes you keep the paycheck and suck up the pride. I've had to do this as well.

Keep in mind that when you do this, it adds stress, but if you breath and if you act according to your standards and not others, then you can survive the negative environment and possibly have a positive influence. Before I left the negative environment, we talked and they said they appreciated my honesty, though they may not have. I don't know. I also set up a tool that would help alleviate pain in one of the workers hands. I'm hoping it left a positive.

Who knows? Shrug, I did it for me though, because it was my standard. People are different. We do not have the same standards. Embracing this is something that makes it easier to be in the professional environment. I think that is part of "living right".
