You Make the Call – Gruntled or Disgruntled
Filed Under Workplace
We always have a choice – a choice to be an energy radiator or an energy drain. We also have a choice to either accept or reject somebody else’s energy they are projecting onto us. We have a choice to take it personally, or to mirror back their energy, or to let our own light shine onto them whether it will be connected to their own bright light or overshadow their dark light.
Light opens up darker spaces, so I choose to let my light shine into some of the shadows that may come into my life. For instance, I just returned from a blissful holiday in Santa Fe at a B & B that fell a little short of the expectations for the room, but the breakfasts were aaaaaahmazing. Their chef on the first day was simply charming, had incredible food and was a delight to be around. It set the tone for a perfectly heavenly day with devine company on a glorious sunny day in their courtyard. Her light shown onto her food, her guests, and in the air.
The next day the different chef put a decidedly negative flair to the whole affair. Her demeaner was much more of one who had to be there for her job, rather than one who delighted in serving her artistic creations to others and bask in their delight. And her edgy attitude tried to sneak into my deliriously happy day and get me cranky. We have choices to be either gruntled or disgruntled, to live our life and invite work into our life we are leading anyway, or to make work out of life. One chef shared her love of life through her cooking and the other just worked at it and it showed.
When you have a choice, why not choose between being happy and deliriously happy instead of happy or grumpy. We don’t always have control over what comes to us (in fact, very little control over what comes to us.) but we do have a choice in how we react to it. How are your reactions lately? What do you choose to be… gruntled or disgruntled…it’s up to you. You can make the call and you decide on your energy level and what to do with it and how others affect it. You can mirror back their light or let yours outshine the darkness.
