devotions and reflections

I find this sage very striking in any sense. Impatience is one of my biggest weaknesses. I want to overcome it but it’s too dificult. Many times I get beset by confronting situation where my patience is pushed to the limit. It’s either I blow up or keep it inside me and wait for the kettle to overflow beforeI blow my top.

I have read somewhere that situations don’t make a man. But they bring out the real person in us. Many times we tend to blame others or the situation for provoking us and loosing our temper. But it’s our personality and how we handle the situations.

In my case it’s the situation that takes control of me. The attitude is already there within me. If it’s not there it won’t come out. You know what I mean?

There are people who just plain annoy us by their attitudes and personalities. We can’t stand them, we say. But who is the loser in this case? It’s us who let our nerves get shaken.
