JoyScope: Monday 30th January 2012

We all have our little bugbears in life. Whether it is sorting finances, paying bills or managing paperwork or those less than inspiring household chores such as cleaning, washing, ironing and so on, or perhaps those irritating family members and work colleagues who just have a knack of pushing the right buttons at the wrong time! These can cause immense frustration, impatience and even stress... if we let them! The only reason that something can irritate us is when we are not allowing ourselves to see the fuller picture. When we tap into what it means to have a clean house, organised administration, and a family and job, we find that those issues seem far less significant. Its corny but true that many of these frustrations are bi-products of our success. If we didn't have a house or family or job or money, our circumstances and challenges would be very different! So the next time an irritant shows up in your life, thank the cause and take the hit of reminding yourself how successful and blessed you are!
