I feel really fortunate to have a mentor that understands my personality

While generally I’m thoughtful and calculated, I run hot. My emotions are an order a magnitude higher in each direction when I’m off centered

It’s a fancy way of saying when I’m upset I’m VERY upset and when I’m happy I’m extremely joyful 

So when things go wrong I can go on a tirade and make poor decisions

But my mentor knows me so well that he doesn’t try and stop my tirade or check me in any sense… he just calmly delivers the appropriate train of thought that I need

While I may still be pissed, I just read the simple sentence or two and have to face the reality that he’s right and I’m being too emotional. I end up checking myself every single time.

Really grateful for him
