Sometimes we work in a bubble, simply grinding it out. The term cubicle not only refers to a space where people work but how we choose to work; isolated and detached from those around us. If we do seek someone’s counsel, it’s typically from those who agree with or think like us. If you ever want to be told what you want to hear, surround yourselves with those who think like you and will simply agree with you. Known as “yes men,” these individuals will simply tell you what you want to hear. Yet sadly, they will also keep you stuck in a certain pattern or way of thinking. Challenge yourself tomorrow to be open to new ideas, insight and thoughts that both challenge you and cause you to pause to reflect a bit more deeply. Keep learning, keep listening and get rid of that know it all attitude. Perhaps a different perspective will bless your work and your relationships as there is always something to glean.
