Nearing the Holidays
Hey guys, I made progress in patience this week. The patience wasn't really that hard to accomplish. I was teaching a little kid a new outdoor skill at Trail Life and for some reason he just wasn't able to accomplish the task that was required of him. I got really mad at him and felt like drop kicking him across the room. I just walked away for a minute, drank some water and went back to the kid. after another thirty minutes he finished and I almost started to dance around in joy. That's really the only change that happened, but at least it was a change.

Dear Malcolm,
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see that you controlled your anger and practiced your patience in that scenario. I know many situations where I would’ve lost my control and done something bad. I am also practicing my patience and controlling myself for this Character experiment. One of the methods I use is also the same as yours. Whenever I am in a stressed position, I walk away and take a break from it. It helps me calm down and relax. This has helped me many times and if I hadn’t done this, I would’ve probably ended up breaking or hurting something or someone.
