Impulse

There is nothing worse than whining at someone when your thoughts and feelings are getting the better of you. Despite the tremendous progress we made in different walks of life, it always boils down to winning and achieving. We always give the lame excuse "not enough time / too busy / exhausted" when it comes to connecting with our near and dear. Too often we show our anger and frustration at our spouses and children as if it is their fault for the ups and downs we experience in our daily lives.

I had the fortune of having two very adorable grandpas (maternal and paternal) - never saw them vent their frustration or loosing their cool even when the chips were down. Faced with adversity they silently suffered and when it is bountiful never hesitated to extend their arms.

Life won’t always be easy sailing. We aren’t always on top of our game. It is time we control our impulses and start connecting with each other.
