What you just said, I think, is really, really important for listeners to understand. And this is maybe extreme ownership or really looking in the mirror. But when you're snapping at somebody or you're snapping at your kids or you're snapping at your spouse, usually it's something that is going on with you because you could have had exactly the same circumstance before.
