The Thing Behind the Thing

Something to remember. It’s not always about what you think it is. Sometimes it’s deeper. It’s about what happened yesterday or six months ago. It’s been building for a while.

I try to remember that the straw that broke the camel’s back isn’t about the straw at all.

So now I’m reminding you. When you’re feeling irritated, take a moment to pause, breathe, and ask yourself what’s really bothering you. It’s a time and emotion saver.
