Acceptance and learning to let go

I was upset over a situation at work. And I kept thinking about this situation over and over again this weekend, venting my frustration with totally unrelated subjects relating to the recent organizational change.

I think the only solace to this is to accept this and move on. Learning to let go of expectations that I set for myself. Learning to let go that this is part of life ups and downs. Learning to let go that my role demands me to be different. The wheel of life, as my friend MG so aptly puts it as the title to her blog.

In self-reflecting my years in this organization, the organization has given me much and taken much. Balancing work and family is only a dream. In wanting financial security, I have been relentless in my pursuit of differentiation and improvements. Only to find that over time that becomes expected and the organization keeps pushing for more. Where does it stop?
