Sometimes people don't agree with our pace, or like to ridicule us for doing things differently than they would do them. What I've learned is that it's important for me to know what I want, to take care of my needs while meeting my goal, and moving forward with purpose. As for playing cards with your husband, how about suggesting he become a better card player. That way, he wont' be a poor loser :-) You bring up a good point Kathleen.

Just this morning I accomplished my goal of leaving for work on time but I rushed around this morning so that while I acheived my goal of leaving on time it didn't feel so great. Tomorrow I will leave on time and move at my own pace in the morning so that I am relaxed when it is time to go to work. It really is all about the journey to your goal, not just the goal itself.

Unless it is a matter of life or death, I don't see the big deal. So, go away and leave me alone. This being said, I try to avoid situations where I know beforehand that I will refuse to "hurry up". If I don't, then I know I will lose my cool. My husband has no patience when it comes to playing cards especially with friends. He is also a poor loser. Any advice?

I was once playing chess with my husband Ray. There I was playing my own game, enjoying myself, trusting myself, and things were going well. Then he gained the upper hand. I noticed that instead of using instinct and intuition, I began to play a reactionary game. As quickly as I noticed that I was no longer running my own race at my own pace, I lost the game. It was a very valuable experience. I discovered that playing life in a defensive or reactionary position never ends up well for me! Thanks for your comment cipytweet!
