I’ll be the first to admit that I can be about as manageable as a rabid pit bull when someone or something gets on my last nerve. This goal isn’t about playing the Blame Game. It’s about being more conscious of my behavior during unacceptable situations, then (hopefully) selecting a more ethical/spiritual/polite action relevant to the circumstances.

For me this is going to be a long-term goal by default. It may never be removed from my list. Then again, some of life’s lessons are about making continual progress vs. achieving the finality of perfection.
