Suffering is optional.
How many people have you come across who seem to suffer even
their imagined pain? Rarely or mostly? I bet the answer is the latter.
So many of us imagine our pain and forget to count our blessings!
We wallow in the discomfort of small things in life, frown at the smallest
irritation that comes our way and scream at the little mercies of life. Why
don't we smile instead when the bus arrives late so we can read an
extra page of the interesting novel... plan our day when we are stuck in
traffic.. or just give a call to a long lost friend when you can do nothing
but wait till the annoyance goes away and gives way?
Easier said than done did you say? Not so I guess. As long as we don't
fret and frown too much about the past or the future we can enjoy the
present. We keep looking ahead at the 5 minute delay for the meeting,
the 10 minute miss of our favorite serial or the total miss of the lovely long
walk with our dog. We don't like changing our plan as often, do we?
I know someone said 'failing to plan is planning to fail' etc...call me a
pessimist if you must but there are certain things you cannot plan for in life!
So why not expect the unexpected, plan for surprises and enjoy the ride?
