Are challenging people getting in the way of your happiness, well-being and success? You may find them at work, in social situations, you may live them or they may be members of your family? Even worse when you see them getting away with things; getting their way even though there is no sense to it; getting advantages over everyone else; and in many cases being rewarded for their abusive behaviour with promotion and other advantages! You probably would never want to behave the way they do. You don’t have it in you or you just couldn’t live with yourself if you behaved like that. Maybe your attempts to confront them have failed and you’ve ended up with egg on your face, with them having more opportunity to have a “dig” at you. As a result, you may have come to the conclusion that it’s the nasty people that get ahead, and someone like you just has to put up with this behaviour from others.
