Hi chris!,
If you work in a team or for a company, if you go to college....You´ll
always find that there is somebody, someone, a percentage you don´t
get on or you disagree or you don´t like it...
This may happens even in the best families there is always someone
willing to create annoyance to everyone else. Dialogue not always work
with some people in that case the best is to let it go. The trick
here is no to take it as personal. In the internet this is not as
difficult to put into practice since you can spam or put in the thrash
mail you don´t wish to receive it. But in real life that is a little
more difficult since we can´t throw to the bin our boss. In that case
the practice becames handy. The practice of not taking anything as
personal. The continuos concentration of focusing the mind in the
present moment helped with the awareness of the in an out breathing
can slowly slowly have some surprising results.
Not that I have achieved much control over myself emotions yet but i´m
in the way. Each sceneary that appears in daily basis becames the
playing ground . I don´t get attached to the result of this practice.
what i mean is that if i loose control over my emotions i acknowledge
it and keep trying again and again and again. Not to take anything as
personal and complete disattachment to the results of the practice is
a joyful way of practicing.
Thanks for writing and your very kind words.
Mayka
