I was watching the show Undercover boss last night and it was interesting to see how the brothers,who are owners of 1-800-flowers, view their partnership. One brother said " He needs to be reminded that I am his partner in this company." The other brother said " He needs to be reminded that I am his boss." Throughout the show, they also mentioned that they are competitive, and that they like to be compete to see who is the best in the business.
It is an interesting perspective, and both need a wake-up call.
Isn't it the same in life? Aren't all our situations based on perspective? Did the situation really happen the way you thought it did, or maybe, just maybe, your perspective was a bit out of focus? If you looked at the situation differently, would you be mad at that person anymore? End that friendship? Leave that relationship?
What is the truth behind your situation? What is your perception?
