One thing that I know that upsets me (if I let it), is when things don't work.
Especially computer problems, since I know a thing or two about fixing computers. It's almost like when things don't work, I am personally offended!
So, I have to be careful to keep my head about me when fixing technical issues. Like today, my internet connection just went out. One second it was working, next minute it wasn't. And yet, it was *still * working on another computer.
So I had to keep reminding myself to breathe, and relax. That I'd figure out what was going on and fix it, and if for some reason I couldn't, it wouldn't be the end of the world. Even though I fixed it eventually, it really had a chance of ruining my whole night...if I'd had let it. In the end, it's nothing to get my pulse raised over; really *nothing * is worth getting your pulse raised over. Things come up, and we deal with them, no big deal. That's a little process called:
Life.
After all, if you can't stand these minor obstacles and inconveniences, how can you expect God to bless you with more? Since a more successful career means more challenges, a bigger house, a bigger family, a bigger bank account, all mean more challenges.
Think of what you're experiencing now as the test run for what's to come.
The question is, will you pass these tests, or keep having to repeat this level for the rest of your life?
And remember:
Never give up, never give up, never ever ever give up.
