What you can do is calm yourself, and the storm will gradually pass.Over the past decade, there’s a way of being I’ve gradually been cultivating in myself — I’ve been taming my tendency to get riled up and argue with people when their behavior doesn’t match my expectations.As human beings we all have an idea in our heads about how things are supposed to be, and sadly this is what often messes us up the most.
