“Keep this thought handy when you feel a fit of rage coming on – it isn’t manly to be enraged. Rather, gentleness and civility are more human, and therefore manlier. A real man doesn’t give way to anger and discontent, and such a person has strength, courage, and endurance – unlike the angry and complaining. The nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength.”
– Marcus Aurelius
This quote from Marcus is much easier said than done of course! It takes courage and humility to post what you did and it’s normal to feel the way you did after the incident. Any parent can empathize with your story and your reaction. What’s most important here is how you respond to your situation. The past is the past. #StayStoic @BTC Sessions
