Action
Make 2009 your year for action. Stop complaining about your difficult person or you difficult situation and do something about it!
The problem that many of us face is the “fear” of what will happen/not happen. I can assure you that if you don’t do anything, nothing will change (it might even begin to get worse) and you will continue to be frustrated by the situation. Complaining about it does NOT make it go away – you must take ACTION!
If you keep on doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep on getting what you’ve always got (and you’ve already identified that this isn’t working for you!)… so do something! Take action. Make a plan, and get ON-THE-RIGHT-TRACK by dealing with your difficult person.
