BE PATIENT NOT ANGRY

To be alive and not knowing how to handle life matters is one other thing that attracts frustration, pain, regret, hatred and if not suicide (like Lobo in a movie - the three idiots – that committed suicide because He was asked to repeat his final year school project), to me that was something this young man would have achieved within some time, with patience than anger. He forgot that life is never a one way direction thing. The more patience applied to harsh situations will enable you handle other life issues with courage in subsequent time.

“Though thou be destined to live three thousand years and as many myriads besides, yet remember that no man loseth other life than that which he liveth, nor liveth other than that which he loseth”. Marcus Aurelius.

When living life, there is nothing to be but patient, understanding and tolerant, because life is up moments and down moments you have to flow with even when you are not in the mood to flow with them. Think about it, then act rationally on the ideas you get. However, the worst thing you can do is to give up on it all like a river unnaturally stopping its flow. Giving up is the worst thing you can do especially when it seems the worst. When it seems the worst, you can change directions like a real river does when boulders fall into it or whatever obstacles to it come up (like drainage of river in Owerri-ota mmiri). The best thing you can do is what you need, even when you do not feel like working or whatever, because failure is the ultimate trickster, cheat, deceiver, that makes you forget how temporary the situation at hand seem. Some of the best successes have come after this "reality" because a person decided not to quit because of the seeming disaster. They somehow saw the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.

So, when living life and existing through everything, there is nothing else to be other than patient, understanding, tolerant and reasonably open minded about all things. Open mindedness of the sort I am talking about is the key to the door and the light at the end of the tunnel I speak of. Because some of the most closed minded people quit after that first try if they do not get "lucky" or have good fortune with that great idea at that first try.

If you really want it, you can have it. But first, you must be patient, tolerant and open minded like a flowing river that flows even with obstacles and barriers in it. If one way does not work, try another. If another way does not work, go on. For, the natural river is safer than the unnatural person trying to force something to work that does not work instead of changing course and idea to work with a situation until genuine success is garnered or gained.

Remember Napoleon Hill - “A winner never quits and quitter never wins”

Anger should be handled with patience, understanding, tolerance, focus and open minded. Anger is one thing i have learnt that obstruct and prevents us from good reasoning state, which affects our emotions. So, angry moments should be handled with care not fear or quit.
