In an odd way,
the attitude of seeing things as better than what they are is actually selfish!
How so?
Well, it's
really about how you want things to
be, and not about how they actually are.
People often
think of themselves as being virtuous when they look at the world through rose
colored glasses, but in a rather indirect way, when we do this we are actually
giving out a strong 'you're not okay' message to the person we are dealing
with!
It's fine to
wish someone were different but pretending in these situations is always risky.

REALITY TRAINING IN 3 EASY STEPS!
1)
Create your perfect fantasy about a person, place, job…

How
does this feel? Are you laughing?
2) Now

How
does this feel?
3) And
finally…tell yourself what the reality of this situation or person is.
Can
you take it?
