Dealing With Emotions While Miserable At Work

When you are in a job that you want to ‘Just Quit’ there are lots of emotions that you will experience everyday.

The below poem will help you cope. Once you realize that you have to take the good with the bad and that you will get thru this dark tunnel you will be able to welcome it all.

The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

— Jellaludin Rumi
