There’s a right and a wrong way to do anything right?
It wasn’t until recently that I’ve come up with the conclusion that there is no right or wrong way to approach a relationship, only YOUR way.
It wasn’t until I stepped back to take a moment to think of what I could do different to make something work out a bit better that I discovered that there really isn’t anything that I could do differently that would work in my favor. Of course, I could technically try out a bunch of different options, but if those approaches aren’t reflective of who I am then it serves no point.
I like providing examples to go along with my words:
Picture applying for a job with a resume only to find out that your resume needs a bit more sprucing up. So you go and add all of these skills that you really don’t have, but know that it’d look better or perhaps gives you a bit more of a chance for an interview. So then boom! You were right, sprucing up your resume landed you the interview and got you the job right. So here’s the part that counts… DOING the job. You’ve fluffed yourself up to be this BOSS.. this PRO at this job and then you can’t fulfill the position…
To bring this on home…
There is no “right” way to be yourself. There are real rules to interacting; either you mesh or you don’t. In an instance that you don’t mesh; it doesn’t mean that there is something “wrong” with the next person.
Words of Wisdom: My words of wisdom are simple. Being yourself is enough. There is nothing wrong with you just because the next person doesn’t get or understand you. I’d only encourage one to find out what works for them and make it right.
