“I’m guessing there’s a part of you, too, that doesn’t rest well in discomfort, and thankfully so. Our progress gets blocked when we’re consumed by frustrating people. We want to change them or teach them a lesson, but ultimately, we have no control over their thoughts, words, and actions—only our own.”
