I can slip into distrust and resentment with very little provocation, it seems. Those feelings are familiar, and quick, and they tend to insulate me from any discomfort and uncertainty. A workplace is  a very easy place to get discontented.

But to recover, I need to learn a new way of life, one in which “love and tolerance is our code.” Of course, it’s possible that what’s happening around me is a warning, and my feelings are telling me to pay attention. But using discontent to anesthetize will take me away from the spiritual life I’m trying to create.

Today, if grumbly thoughts about my workplace creep in, I’ll ask my Higher Power to help me discern what’s happening. If I’m grumbling just to grumble, I’ll try to replace those thoughts with loving ones.
