Sometimes we are not nearly as kind with the people we love as we want to be.
We might be tired. Worried. Distracted.
And we might snap.
We really don’t mean to. It is just a reaction.
And it is human.
Being able to be great with people is important.
Doing this all the time may not quite be realistic, but imagine if this was your usual way.
It only takes a moment to pause; to course correct, and to let off steam before responding.
In fact it starts with being great with ourselves. We are people too.
