Keep Your Cool!!!

Aristotle said:Anybody can become angry – that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way – that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.

That is so very true I think, because there may have been so many occasions wherein we got angry for some silly mundane reason,which was actually a thoughtless reaction may be.I guess it is all about growing up and learning from our mistakes.Great ones have said that one must learn from mistakes and not repeat the same mistake.Every mistake should be a learning experience.

This post is about being irritated by the behaviour of some people.How do we tackle such people???
Why is it that we find certain people annoying and want to hide and be away from them??
The last couple of weeks I have been putting up with one such individual and am searching ways to keep my cool,come what may!!
Well,I know it is not so nice to think ill of anyone for that matter,but sometimes it is just not in our control I guess.
Isn't it indeed very funny that the person you just want to forget and not go anywhere close to is the one occupying your mind all the while?????
Funny and strange are the ways our mind behaves isn't it???
I guess it is just lack of living the knowledge:"Accept people as they are".....
It is also of course very important to understand and accept that people who are annoying,irritating and are a chore to deal with are that way and it has nothing to do with you or me.It is also not our job to try and fix them...
Unpleasant or unwanted experiences certainly will be etched permanently in the mind,and if we observe carefully we will agree that we are able to remember every little detail of such experiences,even after many years.The memory is so strong and we find ourselves holding on to such thoughts and mulling over them.
It is indeed important to just let go and not let people rule our minds isn't it???
It is not wise to take such people personally, because their behaviour is the same with everyone and it is their nature.A good approach would be to ignore such people.
Let me strive to win over my mind and not let individuals rule my mind.
My earnest and sincere prayers for them...,also pray that I have the wisdom and intelligence to tackle such ones.....
God Bless.........
Jai Guru Dev....
