Ep. 158 | How to Choose Freedom Over Being Right When Someone Has Hurt You

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode, I'm sharing what happened the day a recruiter called for a reference on the assistant who'd stolen from me and refused to talk to me on her way out, and the one line from my friend Billy that I have not been able to put down since.  The Daily Reflections reader published by Alcoholics Anonymous says it has been said that anger is a luxury I cannot afford, that we are not asked to ignore the human emotion of anger but to recognize the gift of choice, and that today we can choose to open the door to freedom.  Today's episode is about justified anger, the cost of acting on it, and the one question that should come before every act of revenge. Question to carry into your day: What are you carrying that's costing you your freedom?  Ready to do this work with real support?
