How many times have you got upset because someone wasn’ t doing his job, because your child wasn’ t behaving? How many times have you been irritated when you’ ve planned something carefully and things didn’ t go as you’ d hoped?
This kind of anger and irritation happens to all of us—it’ s part of the human experiences. One thing that irritates me is when people talk during a movie, or cut me off in traffic. Actually, I have a lot of these little annoyances—don’t we all? And it isn’ t always easy to find peace when you’ ve become upset or irritated.
Let me tell you a little secret to finding peace of mind:
see the glass as already broken
. See, the cause of our stress, anger and irritation is that things don’ t go the way we like, the way we expect them to. Think of how many times this has been true for you. And so the solution is simple: expect things to go wrong, expect things to be different from what we hoped or planned, expect the unexpected to happen. And accept it.
One quick example: on our recent trip to Japan, I told my kids to expect things to go wrong— they always do on a trip. I told them, "See it as part of the adventure. "
And this worked like a charm. When we inevitably took the wrong train on a foreign language subway system, or when it rained on the day we went to Disney Sea, or when we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the National Children’ s Castle closed on Mondays... they said, "It’ s part of the adventure!" And it was all OK—we didn’ t get too bothered.
So when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks some day, you might get upset. But things will be different, if you see the glass as already broken, from the day you get it. You know it’ll break some day, so from the beginning, see it as already broken. Be a time traveler, or someone with time traveling vision, and see the future of this glass, from this moment until it inevitably breaks. And when it breaks, you won’t be upset or sad—because it was already broken, from the day you got it. And you’ll realize that every moment you have with it is precious.
