Settling down...

It's time to settle down... no not the marriage kinda vibe... (yes I could see those wheels turning in your mind!)
Settle down as in tempers wise. I have the worst temper ever... actually I have extremely bad attitude management. I've caught myself out too many times in the last year just putting on show all these emotions which shouldn't be the case. If I'm annoyed, boy, does everyone know it... it's almost like a "who doesn't know it?" kinda vibe.
Learning how to properly deal with it and control not so much the situation or the other person, as annoying as they may be to you at that point in time is a vital thing I have to learn. I see people do it all the time and it makes me think, wow, it's not impossible. To these people, I fully doff my hat in admiration. It takes someone with maturity and the attitude of humility to not lose their temper and handle the situation properly especially when the other person's in the wrong.
How to deal with it? I'm not sure... there are many "solutions" that have been suggested. Take a deep breath... don't talk for 20 seconds... use that time to think... many others but one really stuck out.
Pray. A single word. So simple yet not done enough.
I pray that He changes my heart as I choose to live my life in a manner that glorifies Him.
