We all cry that it’s unfair when things don’t go as we think they should. The playground echoes forth the voice of a thousand ten-year-olds crying out: “hey! that’s not fair!” There is you or me stewing about a business dealing that hasn’t gone according to plan while staring out a window at 1 am. It’s the same internal desire for equity (or what we believe would have been equitable.)
Breach of fair and equitable dealing is a sad fact of life. It’s part of the journey.
We can make our response to these things the central excuse for why we don’t accomplish our grand plan, or our response can be another rung in the ladder we’re climbing.
