Agreed, remember too, that there are those of us that don't come from a place of "live and let live". Me, I come from fairly crazy places in life where if you didn't stand up and fight for yourself, you were destroyed until you did. I have been truly working hard to change this part of myself. Once in a while, though, I get pushed to a point where I have to release and try to maintain control. I wish I could just snap my fingers and let certain things roll off, and I have gotten far better at it than I used to be, but there are those times where my actions are stupid and wrong. Those are the times where I lose control and give in to the feelings that my past has, still, ingrained my conscious. I do think that as long as I do take responsibility for my actions, recognize them, and try like heck to change them I am on the right path. I am so happy that I am homesteading, it helps with anger management and forces patience and perseverance on such an awesome level. I have been learning how to channel my fight into different things and put that energy, as bad as it may be, into a positive and working form of energy. I think that my lord grabs me by the collar once in a while too! Thanks for this, helps for reflection!
