Ever lost your self control, and given in to making an angry response that you should not have made?

How easy that is to do, and yet, takes some energy to do that and makes me a LESSER person for doing so. Recent occasion 'parking' my car backing into a space, encountered a rather gruff, unshaven, older gentleman in an old, dirty vehicle, who admonished me for what he thought was an error on my part. I responded angrily when I should have just sat and kept my mouth shut...

A waste of energy. Increased blood pressure. unnecessary aggravation on my part...

Ever happen to you and you immediately regretted losing your cool?

Maybe in the past I might have if someone was hassling my son I would come undone over it. He has learning disabilities and teenagers would steal his wallet, same thing at the grocery store. He wouldn't know how to count out money so he would just put all of his money on the counter and the cashier would take enough to cover his purchases. But one day the cashier kept his wallet with all of his money in it. You don't want to get Mama Bear mad at you. Trust me.
But in this day and time a lot of people are
crazy 🤪 and could kill you over the same thing you experienced.
I wouldn't kick myself about your incident, it happened and it's over now. Just remember this for next time.🙂

@coachTanthony Coach, I felt like an absolute 'fool' for losing my temper and letting the guy 'trigger me into responding with some ugly cuss words, and I was immediately sorry for it, especially with other customers setting outside the Cafe, and hearing/seeing it.

I need to take a cue from my woman friend, as she is as cool as a cucember
