I was chatting with a very unhappy guy the other day. Unfortunately for me the contact was unavoidable and I didn’t want to be rude. So, here I am listening to this guy explain how things should be. He was right. He had the answers. He always unhappy because, in his mind he is always right and everyone who does not agree with him is wrong. I started zoning out. On it went blah, blah, blah. After what felt like an eternity, six or seven minutes, I tapped his arm. It was the only way I could get his attention from his monologue. I said, “I’ve got to run. I’m a bit late already for an appointment.” I went to my car. Opened my iPhone and blasted an upbeat playlist. Three songs later I was back in my optimistic groove.
