Anything that annoys us is there to teach us patience.

 

Anything that angers us, is there to teach us forgiveness and compassion

 

Anything that abandons us, is there to teach us how to stand up for ourselves.

 

Anything that we hate, is there to teach us unconditional love

 

Anything that we fear, is there to teach us courage to overcome.

 

Anything that we cannot control is there to teach us to surrender and let go.

 

Anything that tries to overpower us, is there to teach us to become empowered.

 

Like a grounded lightning flash everything that we experience in some way can affect our nervous system and every fiber of our being is set ablaze. We stay in the mode of reaction instead of responding.

 

Every particle of our body is on fire when we react with anger, hate, and fear consuming every cell, every muscle, tissue and bone with enough energy to literally burn us. The damage on our mental, physical and emotional and certainly our spiritual health can be irreparable.

 

It is only when we pause and see how each experience is there to teach us and not harm us. For those who live in the mode of ignorance, they do not see the lesson before the reaction and fail. It is the self realized who remain aware and alert to all emotions and choose how to respond. This is true wisdom.
