Make Little Waves

Technology failed me once again last night. My brilliant post about making little waved got list in the ether. Gone forever!And that’s OK because returning I wanted to say yesterday holds true today. Well, at least to me it does.This is the message: I have never fired, attempted to fire, or been tempted to fire anyone because they make waves. Yes, people who needle and whine and complain about everything are annoying and even toxic in many cases, but that’s not what I am talking about. I am not advocating being negative for the sake I being negative or being distractive and counterproductive to satiate some need to be in control. What I advocate instead is exercising your right to expect and demand a workplace and a life wherein you are respected and valued as a human being. You deserve that. Claim it.If you work or live in a place where you are not free to be the miraculous individual that you are, then escape! Flee! Run! Or choose to stay. Choose to make it better. Choose to work in the system to make the system better. You can choose to stay and work over, under, or around the system, too. That’s a possibility. Whatever you do, don’t sit quietly and take the abuse. It doesn’t end. It doesn’t go away forever. It always comes back. So make little waves and claim your right to make your workplace and your life worth celebrating.
