Day 83: Real Time
Day 2: 21 Day Complaint Free Journey



“….imagine that everyone you know and everyone you meet is perfectly enlightened. That is, everyone except you! The people you meet are all here to teach you something….Your job is to try to determine what the people in your life are trying to teach you. You’ll find if you do this, you’ll be far less annoyed, bothered, and frustrated by the actions and imperfections of other people. All you are really doing is changing your perception from “Why are they doing this?” to “What are they trying to teach me?”

Richard Carlson, “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff”


What have others tried to teach YOU lately? Have you accepted their lessons or resisted their annoyances? I successfully managed to accept those around me yesterday, as I ran typical Saturday errands, did some gardening and reading, even got a short snooze in the afternoon while it rained outside my window.

Have a wonderful Sunday, enlightened friends!
