Frustration to understanding

The four classical temperaments have a funny way of showing themselves to us from time to time. What appears to us as someone’s attempt to intentionally baffle, bother, or otherwise provoke us, is usually just a natural activity to the other person based on their temperament. Even when people are acting out and exhibiting some really negative behavior, it is very often reflective of their temperament. I grew up being told that there is always a reason people do what they do. I knew there was a reason I just had no idea what those reasons were. Finally after (cough-cough) years I have found a pretty reliable source to discovering why people do what they do. Their needs and and values are driven by their temperament. So, when I or anyone else gets under your skin – pause and observe, take a little time to reflect and identify where we are coming from, seek out clarity and then gain a bit more understanding. It will be good for you.
