In life, there are a lot of goalies
For me, the breakdown often happens when I’m focused on a task. I become angry because, as Neil says, someone is blocking my goal – not having been a soccer player, the verbage that works better for me are tasks vs. people.
I’ve had too many moments lately in which I’ve reacted out of my own frustration to my kids, when what I should be doing is looking to understand and motivate them.
It’s a little like the axiom, if I take care of my character, God will take care of my career… If I take care of myself – do my very best to be the best wife and mommy I can, and be patient with my family and myself – God will take care of the results.
As I said yesterday, yup, I have work to do…
