Never Without Reason

By
Real Estate Agent with Wayne M Martin

Do you ever do something without a reason or do you think through all your actions? Are you a deliberate planner? Do you remain calm in most circumstances or are you easily angered? Do you continually strive to improve your ability to remain calm in difficult circumstances?

In answering these questions for myself I am reminded of the following:"Anger is never without reason, but seldom a good one!" Can I practice what I am preaching? Enjoy your day!

I continue to try and master the anger reaction to certain situations Wayne.  A life long battle.  I suffer fools terribly.

Conrad, just when I think I have it mastered I hit a roadblock! And, the journey continues! Enjoy your day!

No my temper will get the best of me several times this year and I know it.  I also know I will make a bad decision more than once this year.

I've done things without thinking them through, often by instinct.  They don't always work out very well.

 Good morning, Wayne. Far too many times I'm guilty of having a knee-jerk reaction that does not serve me well.

Some us suffer from too little patience and that malady can impact our reasoning powers.  

I am trying to think of a good reason to spend time commenting on ActiveRain blogs.

Over the years, I've learned to control my anger much better.  That doesn't mean I don't get angry, I just react differently now and also know the consequences much better.

Hi Wayne,

I rarely ever get angered to the point it shows to myself or the client. Never let the client get to you.

Do your job the best way you know how and let the chips fall where they may.

Have a great day in Fort Myers my friend.

Best, Clint McKie

Wayne- I usually think things outbut I have been known to do things on the spur of the moment.  I can anger quickly but then I'm usually over it.

I usually think things through. I try to have a reason and to be calm when I do something. Thanks for the thought provoking questions.

I am typically calm under stressful situations. However someone was verbally attacking my wife once and I felt the need to take action and let my anger out the bully which I do not regret

Good morning Wayne. I don't usually react to things, I normally will give some thought to my response rather than being a reaction machine.

Make it a great week!
