How to overcome impatience?


Hope this can help!
Pause for a while and take time to read this article. If we will apply this in our everyday life...I believe it will help us to be more optimistic, cool, patient , grateful, joyful in spite of any annoying situations and will help us to  live a more happy life!


Lessons from 9/11, the annoying little things:


  • A head of a major company survived the tragedy of "9/11" in New York because his son started kindergarten.
  • Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts.
  • One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time.
  • One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike because of an auto accident.
  • One of them missed his bus.
  • One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change.
  • One's car wouldn't start.
  • One went back to answer the telephone.
  • One had a child that dawdled and didn't get ready as soon as he should have.
  • One couldn't get a taxi.
  • Another story was a man who put a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today!




Now when I am stuck in traffic...
- miss an elevator...
- turn back to answer a ringing telephone...
- all the the little things that annoy me...
- I think to myself...
this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment.


The next time your morning seems to be going wrong,
- the children are slow getting dress,
- you cant seem to find the car keys,
- you hit every traffic light...
- don't get mad or frustrated;


God is at work watching over you.


May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things - and may you remember and appreciate their possible purpose.

Always look at the positive side of every situations. God has always a reason / purpose for everything. 


Be grateful always. As one quote said -  "The world always looks brighter from behind the smile
