When you love someone you have perceived him as he is, and this makes it possible for you to know him.
(A Course in Miracles)
At work I felt competitive with one colleague in particular which is actually quite unlike me; normally I manage to collaborate with pretty much everyone. So at times when I felt annoyed by that colleague in question, I use a little trick: I recall a conversation that both of us had when our children where much younger. He said that he was reading a story to his little boy and often felt so exhausted that he fell asleep in his son's toddler bed. I actually had a similar experience around that time. When our boy was little I could only prevent him from running around at night by falling asleep next to him. Somehow my sleep must have had a soothing influence on him; minutes later he was also gone.
So the mental imagine of this big man lying in his boy's bed made me always chuckle and all the ill-wishes were gone instantaneously no matter what. Perhaps you can use my little trick for your situation as well. Get to know everyone you interact with on a more personal level. Everyone has a story that you can resonate with. Know that whenever you don't experience love, there must be something that you are overlooking. Without love you perceive a distorted perspective of reality, so please do something about it. The vision of love is possible for everyone. Sometimes you just have to dig a little deeper
