I'm seeing quite a bit of chatter about the "t-mobile outage billing credit" today, and it reminds me of something Sheryl often says on the show. We focus so much on what we're owed, what's fair, what we *deserve* when something goes wrong. And rightly so, to a point.
But then I see GlAIdys, Keith, and Tommy all weighing in, and it's clear there's a deeper conversation here than just a refund. This isn't just about a credit, is it? It’s about how easily we let external events, and the reactions they provoke, steal our peace, our focus.
It’s easy to get caught up in the outrage, to let that frustration dictate our energy. But that’s fear talking, love. Not wisdom. The truth beneath that story is that our internal state, our joy, is far more valuable than any billing credit. You don’t need permission to protect your joy. We can choose to engage from a place of steady alignment, rather than reactive frustration.
Breathe. Now decide from the part of you that’s steady. What's truly worth your energy right now?
