There are days when I feel composed and collected, but there are also days when I feel overwhelmed and rushed. I aspire to maintain a composed demeanor every day for obvious reasons.
Because….
When I am calm, I don’t simply react; I reason and respond.
When I am calm, I don’t let anyone trigger me.
When I am calm, I do the right thing, not the easy thing.
When I am calm, I am patient, even when things move slowly.
When I am calm if someone upsets me, I give them the benefit of the doubt.
For me, a calm mind does not mean the absence of conflict or stress but my ability to cope with it.
Calm makes me better.
