We really only have three choices when faced with a challenging situation: (1) change it, (2) if you can’t change it, accept it, (3) if you can’t accept it, leave it. And if you can’t leave it, repeat step 2! The same applies with challenging people.

If you can’t change or leave the situation or person, CHOOSE to stay. Don’t tell yourself you HAVE to stay. That is because the fourth choice, staying stuck and complaining, isn’t a choice – it’s a victim role. You are better than that, and you deserve better than that!
