We all have a list of stuff that bothers us – don’t we? The guy that sits down the hall from you at work is a royal pain in the ###. Your salary. Rules and regulations.

Learn how to filter the distractions and understand how it/they will help you. Learn from them and then toss them away. Sometimes the stuff that bothers us the most can offer valuable lessons and if managed well, there is reward in that. Attitude……
