"You should be able to maintain your gracious manner and personable way of interacting with others today, even if you lack your normal patience. You really don't need the distraction of an intense argument, especially if it doesn't matter who wins in the long run. Instead of attempting to prove you are right to anyone else, concentrate on improving yourself."
- What a coincidence, one of my worst flaws is that I have no patience for stupidity, ignorance or disrespect which often results in conflict. Overall I'm a very cordial person, but the moment my patience is tested, I become abruptly contentious and ferocious. In the midst of a heated dispute I become inflamed and uncivilized, finding it difficult to maintain a pleasant manner. On the other hand, in a mild disagreement I become VERY rude, and slightly repulsive. When I'm upset, it's difficult for me to express myself. Therefore, regardless of the height of the disagreement I always feel obligated to have the last say, I MUST win. It's quite shameful: this is not who I am or who I want to become. lWe all have flaws, and what's most important is that we take heed of them and strive to fix them by any means possible. Improve yourself and you'll improve your life! ;)
QUOTE: "Thoughts become words. Words become actions. Actions become habits. Habits become character. And character becomes your destiny. Don't let the negativity given to you by the world disempower you. Instead, give to yourself that which empowers you."
Encourage growth, change, and positivity! :]
