It was a day. Not a bad day. Not a great day. But a decent day. I got everything on my to do list done. But I didn't get the training that I wanted to do done. I may just do this at home. I really want to have it done before I present it to someone else to do. But my time is limited and I still want to maintain a work life balance. This is something I will need to mull over.
The next chapter is Chapter 9 - Let Others Have the Glory. Another area where I need to work. This is letting others have the spotlight. So if someone shares a story with you, don't interrupt them. Don't interject your story. Yes, you may have a similar experience but that's not the time to share it.
We all do this to some degree. But when we do we take the attention off of the other person and put it on us. We are stealing their glory. Resist the urge to think of it as bonding. It is hogging the spotlight. I will have to work on this. I tend to share my experiences and think of them as bonding. But I am really diminishing someone else experience.
There are times to share. I think we need to be careful that when we do share our experiences it benefits the other person more than it benefits us.
Letting others shine will help me to not be so competitive. I can be competitive. That may be why I make it about me.
Do you let others have their glory?
