Learning While Hoping to Teach - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites

This morning I had an irritating and enlightening experience. I was driving on a two-lane road, going slightly over the speed limit, and was being tailgated.

Aggressively tailgated.

The driver would drop back a little, then speed up, coming back up fast and so close I couldn’t see the taillights or grill of their car. I kept driving, and kept being more and more irritated by this stupid, dangerous, and unnecessary nonsense behind me.

I realized I needed to find a way to not be irritated, so I looked around at the beautiful morning, beautiful trees, and beautiful homes, and said out loud about the driver behind me, “You can find 100 things around us both to make you smile, and you’re focused on the one thing that irritates you.”

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I realized that they were as applicable to me as they were to the driver behind me. I laughed at myself and stopped caring about the antics of the other driver, and took my own advice – it really was a beautiful morning!

Next time you feel yourself getting upset over something you can’t control, remember – you can find 100 things around you to make you smile, so forget about focusing on the one irritating thing.
