This
past week has been exceedingly challenging for a number of reasons, so when a
friend asked if I were able to do one more thing, I came close to loosing it.
My friend replied with the following comment, “Remember this is an elective
activity. Feel free to say, "Help, I've
lost my mind and my body no longer follows my orders. Could YOU take care
of it, Dave?" I can and will.”
It’s one of the most reassuring
things I’ve heard in a long time. Not
only did it help me calm down and reassure me, I actually was able to complete
one more task.
So, the next time you encounter
someone who is “over the top,” consider some variation of Dave’s comments. It
really helps.
