A Slow new year

It has been a slow new year for me as this year, we did not do much house visiting. Not much house visiting can be a good thing too as some people can be pesky in asking when it is your turn to get hitched, or why are you not attached. I always tell them I am happy with where I am and prefer to let nature takes its own course. Knowing my own physical limits, I know I can handle, but to others, they may feel that I am not able to handle the strains of a relationship. Like I always say, people are always entitled to their own opinions, we cannot change what people see us sometimes despite what we have done.

You may have done well at work, but because of external circumstances or environmental factors, your boss decides that you have to go, put you on enforced leave due to poor business to save costs. I always believe in forging good relationships at school or work, but it takes both hands to clap most of the time. One has to take the first step. Some people feel that playing politics or endearing themselves to the bosses’ good books may work. It may work sometimes, but not all the time. I firmly believe that a work environment with positive relationships and vibes makes the team of colleagues be positive about work and willing to make sacrifices for the company. It will increase your morale at work too.

To prevent negativity from creeping into your life, find something that you can divert your attention to, like volunteering, reading and singing. If you feel that the environment is toxic, try to change it. If you cannot change it, find an opportunity to take leave from it.
