A Matter Of Priorities
Letting Go Of The Little Stuff
We experience numerous disappointments each and every day. Our expectations go unmet, our plans are blocked by circumstance, our wishes go unfulfilled, and we discover that our lives are subject to a myriad of forces beyond our conscious control. In some cases, our response is powerful because we must invest ourselves and our resources to overcome genuine hardship. In others, our reactions are far more passionate than our circumstances likely warrant. The tension that permeates our bodies and minds when we are late for an event, interrupted at work, or sitting in traffic is not inappropriate, but it can interfere with our well-being in profound ways. When we stop worrying about relatively unimportant matters, we can be at peace and devote so much more of ourselves to what is truly important.

The small frustrations and irritations wield such power over us because they rob us of the illusion of control. But every problem is a potential teacher—a confusing situation is an opportunity to practice mindfulness, and difficult people provide us with opportunities to display compassion. There is a natural human tendency to invest copious amounts of emotional energy in minor dilemmas and frustrations in order to avoid confronting those more complex issues that are largely outside the realm of our control.

A charitable feeling, when put into action, will find you generously donating your time and resources to help those who are less fortunate. This will give you a satisfying feeling of benevolence as you connect yourself to a giving and nourishing energy. As you give, you become part of the cycle of giving and receiving, which is inseparable. So while you may be attempting to give unselfishly, there is a reward involved that cannot be denied. It is all part of the world of duality—every coin has two sides, every emotion or energy has an opposite. As you give today, you will receive on many levels of your experience.
When we give to people who are less fortunate than us, we experience both sides of the coin at once. Not only do we experience both giving and receiving, but to some extent we are able to experience the opposite of the abundance we are sharing. We may not truly
