A ROTTEN APPLE DESTROYS ALL APPLLES IN THE BASKET


A ROTTEN APPLE DESTROYS ALL APPLLES IN THE BASKET
Because life requires that we interact with different personalities, it is not uncommon for us to meet a situation where there is one person whose behavior may negatively force the experiences of others. Someone who is loud and stupid can interrupt the calmness of those who come together to practice peace. A troublesome worker can cause rules to be imposed that affect their partners’ professional lives. A team member who is pessimistic or highly critical may destroy the morale of their fellow members. And one “bad apple” in your personal life can be a powerful distraction that makes it difficult to focus on the blessings you’ve been given and the people who love you.

There may always be people in your life who take it upon themselves to create disruption, promote disorder, crush out hope, and act as if they are above blame – even when, in doing so, they put a disease on their own experiences. But you don’t need to allow their negativity and cruelty to sour your good mood. Often, our first impulse upon coming head-to-head with a bad apple is to express our anger and frustration in no uncertain terms. However, bad apples only have the power to turn our lives sour if we let them.

If you can exercise patience and choose not to respond to their words or actions, you will significantly limit the effect they are able to have on you and your environment. You can also attempt to encourage a bad apple to change their behavior by letting your good behavior stand as an example. If your bad apple is simply hoping to attract notice, they may come to realize that receiving positive attention is much more satisfying than making a negative impression. While you may be tempted to simply disassociate yourself entirely from a bad apple, consider why they might be inclined to cause disturbances. Understanding their motivation can help you see that bad apples are not necessarily bad people. Though bad apples are a fact of life, minimizing the impact you allow them to have upon you is empowering because you are not letting anyone else affect the quality of your experiences. You may discover that buried at the very heart of a bad apple is a seed of goodness.
