For The Hot-Headed Man
Episode description
Hello and welcome to Navigate The Day! Today, we're going to dive into the topic of conquering our tempers and getting control of our emotions. As Marcus Aurelius so beautifully put it, "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." And I couldn't agree more.
Now, I must admit, my temper has been one of my biggest challenges in life. I've put a hole in a fridge door, broken mirrors, punched holes in walls, said hurtful things to those I care about, all because of my anger. And while alcohol played a role in some of these instances, the truth is, my temper has been a difficult demon to tackle for a long time now.
So, let's embrace our struggles and work on being more gentle and civil with ourselves and those around us. Remember, anger will only hold us back, but strength, courage, and endurance are within reach.
