Reality does not become disrespectful because it disagrees with your preferred version.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Facts do not have manners and they do not owe your preferences any deference. When reality contradicts what you expected, the contradiction can feel personal, like something is being taken from you on purpose, and that feeling is what turns disagreement with the world into a fight you cannot win.

When you notice indignation rising at a situation rather than a person, name it as indignation and set it beside the facts. Ask what the situation actually requires now. The energy spent objecting to reality is the same energy you would need to work with it.
