It was an interesting start to my day, within 15mins of waking up I had found out an important meeting had been canceled, the cream had spoiled ruining my morning tea and my sport team blew a lead and lost the game. Ugh!
I was mildly agitated or so I thought.
Throughout the day I was unaware of the sharpness of my tongue, the intimidating scowl on my face, and the dismissiveness of my posture.
I was being an asshole and I couldn’t see it until I had to face the unintended consequences from my actions.
Most of us don’t wake up intending to be an asshole but when we lose our connection between our actions and our consequences, we can easily find ourselves being an asshole.
Are your actions yielding the impact you intended?
