I want more of that health, I want more of that wealth, I want more of that patience, I want more of that intelligence, I want more of that creativity, I want more of that laughter, I want more of that energy, I want more of life, I know it can give me that, I am in the process of getting them.

I Have A Choice...

When I received e-mail from a colleague implying that the rest of us are not doing our job, I got very defensive. And my first reaction was to write him back a nasty reply. But then halfway through, I stopped, remembering something about not letting our emotions do the thinking and because I've ran out of 'niceties' to write him.

Many a time I fell in the trap of letting emotions taking over the better of me. Amir said, I've always had the choice how to react to any situation that is not in my favour. That is difficult to adjust to, but I'm learning.

So, I think, I've made the right choice in not responding to that email. Maybe he feels justified sending it because he has so many tasks in hand that needed completion and the rest of us just sit there and let him do all the work. Whatever it is, I am grateful for that email because now I know, I CAN be the bigger person.
