Today's Stress Tip..by G. Gaynor McTigue..FRI.3/10/06

Don't expect justice.

Like gratitude you may get it, but don't expect it. The world is rife with injustices, big and small. For as many people who are brought to justice, many more get away with something. Disheartening, yes. But hopeless, no. You should always seek and strive for justice. The mere act of pursuing it can help relieve the hurt and stress of being wronged, regardless of the outcome. And take comfort in knowing that at some point, somewhere, though maybe not in this life, justice WILL be served. Why make yourself crazy?

Don't expect gratitude.

You may get it, but don't expect it. Accept that a lot of your good efforts will go unacknowledged. (And your kids will never fully appreciate you until they have children of their own!) Today, people mostly take notice when things go wrong…and take the rest for granted. So rather than repeatedly set yourself up for disappointment, don't expect accolades. Do it because it's right, because it pleases YOU, because your reward should derive from the fruit of your labors, not the arbitrary whim of disinterested recipients. And when that infrequent expression of thanks does come your way, it'll be that much sweeter. Why make yourself crazy?
