How I fought and lost to a bully

Today I lost - I picked a fight with a bully and the bully won

I lost my cool - I lost my train of thought - I really just did a little girl thing and threw a hissy fit and stormed out of a meeting. Inappropriate language may have been used - so I am not feeling proud of myself right now. I can't believe I let it get under my skin.

Ever had one of those moments when you are so angry - so incensed that you react . So passionate about the cause you lose sight of the reality ?

Then you stop - and you think - they got me ! I succumbed to their whim! So what do you do ..... you cry….

Then I stop and think about all the times I am respected and consulted and I feel hope - I remember that these are the people I want to have relationships with - these are the people who 'get' me.

I hate to say it but when girls are passionate - they cry - they scream - they shout - if they are not emotional - if they don’t fight you - then they don’t care - I love with abandon and I care beyond scope - I think some people confuse passion with hysteria. More fool them.

Let me be clear - passion is a virtue not a vice - I have a voice and I intend to be heard.

You may not like the message but don’t shoot the messenger.

In the end my passion will find it's voice and the big girl panties will be worn proudly!
