Have you ever had your patience severely tested?

I have made it a point to bring it up from time to time (which is in my nature) but the results haven’t been close to expectations. I guess that comes from the part of me that expects things to go as per plan.

But today, when I walked into the same situation and felt my temper rise, I decided to let it go.

I heard from a (much wiser) friend I worked with that he was learning to let go of many of the basic assumptions he worked with in a new environment and every time he found a situation difficult to handle, he said to himself – ‘life is probably trying to teach me something here.’

That’s my conclusion as of today. Life is probably trying to teach me something. And I’ve decided to be a good student and let go.
