Impulsive

I have recently heard that I am impulsive. This has set off a rocket in my head! I now can't stop thinking about this. Am I? Do others really perceive me this way? I have asked key people in my life if they think I am and basically, I think the answer is yes.

I don't want to be impulsive. That is surely not my goal. I want to be a calm level headed person who can see a problem, tackle it and move on. That I think is how I operate. I'm not one of these people who just spouts off whatever is flying through my brain unless I'm triggered to do it or instigated by someone/something. I try to think it out. At work, if there is a problem or problem person and it's been recognized, solve the problem. Period end of story. Depending on the problem might mean letting someone go, it might mean writing someone up, it might mean talking with them and watching the behavior, it could be many things. But why let it linger? As soon as I key in, I'm all over it. Is that impulsive?


I don't want to be impulsive. I will be more aware of how others may perceive my actions but I am who I am. I'm not going to suddenly change because of what one person said. Nope. Can't do it. I wouldn't be true to myself. So maybe, just maybe, that is the answer. Yes. That's it.

How about you? Are YOU impulsive? I hate that I heard that about myself. UGH.
