How I changed my overbearing boss
knowing that I and my Boss are one and if wanted to change my boss I would need to change myself, I set out to work.
I took time in my meditation to think about Mr Smith. I told my self that I am Mr Smith and there is a part of me that had projected Mr Smith into my reality. If Mr Smith was overbearing this means that a part of me a was overbearing also therefore I attracted an overbearing boss.. I need to change that part of me.
having imagined myself Mr Smith, I continuously told myself that I am a good boss LIKE MR SMITH.. I imprinted upon my mind repeatedly at my quiet times especially at night the thought that I am wonderful, understanding, appreciative, considerate just like Mr Smith. I gave Mr Smith all the attributes and qualities I wished to see in him, to him. I did this for 3days and on the 4th day something really strange happened.
Mr Smith came to my table and said “Hi Joe, how are you? hope you had a great night? Good to see you today, you look especially radiant today”
OMG! THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED IN THE ENTIRE 5 YEARS OF WORKING WITH MR SMITH!!!
You see, Mr Smith was the person that seemed especially radiant that day, at least to everyone else but I was surprised when he said I was the “especially radiant” one.
Mr Smith turned out to be the best boss ever after.
