Fighting

There are times when I have connected with these words from the movie Fighting by Dito Montiel.
"You think I don't understand I'm nothing, I get it I ain't worth nothing.
but the only way I'm going to lose is if somebody beats me."
To me they have seemed like legit words, but after awhile I have come to understand that they are selfish words. They only consider the one person who is talking. I find thinking like that enslaves me and makes me angry and doesn't help at all. The turn around happened at work I was giving one of those no glory projects (no matter what you do people will complain). I expressed my concern to my boss, and he gave me this article http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/business/glass--half-empty-dont-blame-others-for-your-bad-attitude-49922407.html. A sort of you eat your words thing.

I think I have the first steps to the top of the mountain for what I would like to replace that with. God this is all yours, I will do what I think is right and if it's not force me to realize otherwise, if it is give me more than enough strength courage and will power to do your will. Help me to listen to you.

You know this relates to the post I did on June 21. I had very much the same attitude then. In a situation like that the goal is to descalate the situation not escalate it, and you have to push aside yourself.
