Right approach, kind words, not getting mad is what I need to show when I’m interacting with my wife and my kids.
I might be tired. I might be in a bad mood. But under no circumstances I can show off anger. Under no circumstances I can yell at them. In those situations, it’s better to be quiet. It’s better not to say anything. That’s how I can control the situation.
I have to show love for my wife and family. I don’t want to blame anybody. I want to blame myself. I know I am a leader and I can be a leader. In this situation, it’s a loss-loss situation. In that case, I want to put a blame on myself. I did save the leadership article in my evernote. I should probably reread that. But that’s how I want to react when something goes wrong. And I should probably be explicit about it.
It’s a good thing that I am waking up early again. But I’ll have to be more disciplined about what I do when I wake up. I need to get into a habit of going straight to the shower without opening my phone first.
