Recognizing Interesting Confrontations

Judging everything that occurs over the course of a day is tiresome, to say the very least. This is good, that is bad, this is helpful, that is not. This is interesting, that is boring, this makes me happy, that makes me sad.

Likewise criticizing everything that occurs over the course of a day is the stuff of making your life miserable. That person is rude to me, the weather is not warm enough, the way people drive in this horrendous traffic is so aggressive, the maìtre'd at the restaurant we went to last night is so condescending, the doctor believes he knows it all and is very arrogant.

What if you were to look at it from the point of view that you are here to experience? That means that you have many opportunities (in whatever guise they appear in your life) to learn and grow. Some opportunities are delightful and others are not at all delightful, but if you were to make up your mind to view them all as brilliant opportunities that appear in your life not because you have bad or good luck, but because you can use each of them to grow, then of course your inner reaction to them would be very different.

When you learn to play a sport or a musical instrument, or learn to speak a new language, or learn to use new software or a new digital device, you know there is a learning curve. You are prepared for it. You are very aware of the fact that if you want to become proficient, you need to ascend that learning curve. This is no different. Your life also has a learning curve. Or do you want to remain the way you are today forever?
