YEAR OF ZEN: SPRING: DAY 56

Q: Are anger or depression a habit in your work life?

A: I am happy to say that I don’t struggle with anger or depression as prominent features of my personality, at work or at home. Periodically feelings of anger or depression will manifest but they don’t tend to linger. Part of this I attribute to loving my vocation and caring deeply for the people I work with. I want to see them succeed and I have learned how any success I experience is a direct result of collaborating effectively with others. Good reminder, especially on days when the stress at work builds.
