"The only thing that makes life unfair is the delusion that it should be fair" - Dr. Steve Maraboli

He doesn't pick up as many patients as I do. Why does she take such a long lunch break? My husband took an hour nap today instead of making dinner. Why should I get up early with the kids when I did it the last two days?

I hear these complaints a lot. Let's be honest, I MAKE these complaints a lot. But it's important to remember that we all should be working together, instead of trying to be 'fair'.

Everyone doesn't work at the same speed. Every person doesn't have the same priorities. And we don't always see all that others are doing, that may be more important than speed, or making dinner, or seeing a lot of patients.

Maybe it's more about supporting each other than being 'fair'.

WEEKLY WELLNESS TIP: This week, don't worry about making things fair. Do your best at work and home, ask for respite when you need it, and offer it to others when they may need it as well.
