" Be Mindful of Your Thoughts; They Can Be a Path to the Dark
Side
If you walk around with negative and critical thoughts about your
coworkers, that will be the nature of your relationships.
People can pick up on a vibe from you, and they know if you have less-thanfavorable
thoughts about them.
People can usually pick up on a negative vibe based on nonverbal
communication, such as body language, gestures, and tone, which are all founded
on what’s running through your head. But when you give people the benefit of the
doubt and believe they are working from their best intentions, you can counter
those negative thoughts.
So, let go. Assume the best of people, until they give you clear and consistent
reason not to. "
