Before you go to work tomorrow... remember this.

Before you go to work tomorrow... remember this. Before you walk into work tomorrow, I wanna remind you of something that I wish someone would have told me years ago. If someone at work have already decided that they don't like you, you're not gonna change their mind by working harder. You won't change it by explaining yourself. You won't change it by being extra nice. And you're definitely not gonna change it by sacrificing your own peace. For the longest time I thought that if I just prove myself, that eventually people will see my heart. Sometimes they do. But sometimes people don't dislike you because of anything you've done. They dislike you because of a story that they already created about you. And no amount of over explaining or over working can fix a story that they refuse to rewrite. So tomorrow, walk into work with confidence. Do your job well and treat people with respect. Protect your peace and let go of the pressure to win people over who were never looking for a reason to like you anyway. Your goal isn't to be everyone's favourite co- worker. Your goal is to leave everyday knowing that you handled yourself with integrity. And that that's something that no one could take away from you. If you're trying to protect your peace at work, follow me! We have these conversations here every single day. And if you're heading into work tomorrow, I hope you remember this. Your worth isn't determined by someone else's opinion.
