I believe that our characters are tested daily, to see how we can adapt to or react to the people and events around us. No one is immune to these tests. You are not exempt from the daily testing of your character if you are young, old, rich, poor or famous. You are not exempt by education, race, creed or social status. Everyone is tested.

I believe its just plain healthy to always stop to remind yourself that every human being is born without any knowledge of this world because of this everything has to be learned and since everything has to be learned mistakes are unavoidable. Another point to keep in mind is its probably impossible to change this learning process of life. The only thing that might change it is if all humans were born with complete knowledge of every variable in our universe and knew the exact and perfect way to act in every situation. Thats just not how it is. Our life is a journey to understand how all of the variables in the universe work. The learning process goes on everyday of our lives. The universe operated in a specific way, and and men and women will continue to make mistake after mistake until they learn to get it right and hopefully adapt and change in a positive way.

So if mistakes are part of the equation, how should we act when they are made by others? Well, if someone is rude to you, you can be rude right back. If someone yells at you, you can yell right back. Thats one way to go about it. However, with that response, the errors are compounded. Instead of one mistake, there are now two. Instead of one poor choice, there are now two. Using these strategies, our world and our life are worse off. Maybe theres a better way. After all, we all want to be happier and would like our world to enjoy profits, not suffer losses. Our world ends up with one poor judgement, followed by one good judgement. Thats a better score that two poor judgements. After all, you dont have to work on changing the whole entire world, just work on changing yourself and how you deal with situations in your life. Its much easier to point fingers outward instead of inward especially when you believe you could stay the same, and everyone else must change. Few stop to think that when you change yourself for the better, you are guaranteeing that you are changing the world in some small way for the better.

What i am advocating here is to accept the fact of life. We are only in this planet in out conscious state for a short visit. Start today to make the visit the most productive and the joyous you can. Make a conscious effort to surround yourself with positive people who are nice to be around. Accept the fact that there are negative people and events that are not going away no matter how angry you get. Take their negative ways in stride, and dont let them get the best of you. Dont waste your time trying to analyze and changet them. They will drain every last ounce of energy and health from your body. Make your short visit to our beautiful planet the absolute best you can and enjoy everyday.
