The other day I was at a place I do business with, I was clear with the kid that was helping me what I paid in the past, he gave me a line or two, said he had to make a call. On his return he hit me WAY higher then I paid in the past. We got into an argument, I did the whole, you know how much business I do here, you know how many people I refer on and on. He wasnt impressed which pissed me off even more! We argued more, I split. Yesterday in my morning meditation (or quiet time) it came to me... My justified anger not only was burning at me but it burned a bridge, So after my coffee I headed directly over. He was the first person that saw me and was surprised. I told him hey man, make no mistake I am not happy with the way you handled that business the other day but more than that I am not happy in how I reacted, it was 100% wrong, I went into detail and said I need to apologize. He looked at me got up, thanked me, shook my hand, and we both said its only business. I ended up getting what I needed (or wanted) for way lower then the other day. For me this isnt about look at me Im a good person post crap... Its about being human and rather then run with feeling justified in my ((anger)) and ((resentment)) which subtly would eat at me, I saw the ((fear)) portion in how I did not want to swallow my ((pride)) and walk into a situation and face the unknown... Freedom from the bondage of self is a wonderful thing.
