Three Unexpected Phrases That Act As Emotional Fire Fighters
Dr Dave Nicol
Love this recent post from Dr Dave Nicol...
"One of the most important things you eventually work out when you have to manage people is that 90% of the challenge is managing yourself - and in particular your emotional responses to events that occur."
The three pieces pieces of advice that meant so much to Dave?
"Holding a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” - Source unknown. Spray painted on the side of a Combi-van somewhere on the east coast of Australia.
“Don't ascribe to malice what can more likely be explained by incompetence.” - Source unknown. Heard on the Tim Ferriss Show.
“See things as they are, not worse than they are.” - Tony Robbins.
Dave believes that each of these quotes "..speaks directly to our innate, prehistoric human ability to see danger and catastrophe around every corner. The fight or flight response managed by our adrenalised limbic system." And they can help to put out the emotional fires that we can unecessarily fuel throughout the day.
