Everyday words or acronyms can help us through life . . . You know those everyday words or acronyms:
PITA – When referring to a Pain in the Armpit – – – You know who those people are. They’ve done things this way for how many years? They find it difficult to change. It’s their way or the highway . . . do you think it might be part of their temperament? Their make-up? Their chemistry? 
Q-Tip – we have to remind ourself “Quit Taking It Personally”. We sometimes think people are out to get us . . not so, not so. It’s usually about them and they may be taking it out on us. How do you deal with that? That’s a good question . . stop and ponder it for a while. Just how do you deal with people when it’s all about them and they may not even be aware they’re doing this to you. First thing is to realize it may be about them. Then you can move forward.
We talk about F.E.A.R. Zig Ziglar says – it’s False Evidence Appearing Real . . . Can we change it to Feeling Energized and Ready! This will allow you to turn the switch and move forward . . .
What about those people in our life, who seems lost in thought . . . deep in thought. They may not even acknowledge you . . . Their mind is on their work on that project. So perhaps they may say something and you might take it personally or you think they don’t have feelings because it’s about work and getting the job done and knowing every aspect of the job. Mind you . . they do like to play the devil’s advocate. How do you deal with them?
How can we forget those people who enjoy life . . . although they are hard working with ten fingers in the pot at the same time. . . constantly going back and forth. You know the ones, they seem to have A.D.H.D. (Any Day [is a] Happy Day). They seem to go with the flow, roll with the punches .. handle crises with ease . . . It can be irritating to people who like procedures and order.
Dealing with people can be a challenge . . remembering where they come from helps. Understanding where you come from is job ONE! Once you understand who you are, you can definitely understand who they are.
When relationships are important in all aspects of your life . . . understanding that people don’t stay awake all night long trying to get even with you . . . certainly lets you sleep well!
