Episode 1766: Christopher Wallace explores how challenging colleagues can serve as unexpected mirrors for our own growth, encouraging us to approach irritation with curiosity instead of judgment. By tuning into our emotional triggers and reconnecting with our values, we can turn everyday frustrations into moments of self-mastery. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://digtofly.com/the-zen-of-working-with-annoying-people/ Quotes to ponder: "Every annoying person we encounter is actually a gift, a reflection of something inside of us that needs attention." "When we understand our values, we start to understand why certain people annoy us." "It’s not about changing the other person; it’s about changing how we respond."
