It’s amazing the little things we get upset about. Any one of us could be standing in line at the grocery store and it could be moving along fine. Then, the person ahead of you pulls out all their coupons and delays our progress.
Then, they pull out an out-of-state check which prompts the cashier to call the manager over to verify it.
And while this is happening, we’re getting less and less patient. Then we might think to ourselves, “How much longer is this going to take?”
We might get angry or even resentful towards them or even ourselves for getting into the wrong line in the first place.

Is fate what we make or what we create? In segment one, I talk about a quote from Carl Jung on this very topic.
Today’s listener email has to do with being caught in a lie with family and what to do in the aftermath. It’s an interesting listen in segment two.
For segment three, I talk about spotting fake or forced laughter. In the final segment, I share my thoughts about a very dysfunctional family member of mine who’s trying to worm his way back into my family’s lives but is having a heck of a time getting any cooperation (hint, it’s my stepfather).
