#faithbites #faithjourney letting<\/p>\n

I am a man with a plan. I have a direction in my head and do what I need to accomplish that. One way it manifests itself is doing simple tasks like cooking in the kitchen or walking down the hallway. If I am cooking in the kitchen and someone steps in my path or gets in my way where I’m heading, I get a little upset. Tonight, I was trying to walk down the stairs and my youngest kept walking in front of me. That irks me like nothing else. (I know, it’s like I expect everyone to read my mind and know exactly where I am heading. But in those moments, rationality isn’t at the forefront).<\/p>\n

Call this part of anxiety. Call it part of being a control freak or a type A. But it irks me. Tonight though, after my youngest stepping in front of me 5 times, I hung back a bit. I let her go first. And guess what? It was ok. I let her do what she needed to do, then I did what I needed to do. Maybe I lost 5 seconds, but did it matter? By letting her go first, she did what she needed and I was ok.<\/p>\n

In life, are there times that we win by letting others go first?<\/p>\n
