Enemies or Teachers: What We Can Learn From Difficult People
Remember back in school when you had that teacher that no matter what, always seemed to pick on your work or behavior, causing you to complain relentlessly about the “injustice” you were experiencing to your family each day?
While we may no longer be in school, throughout our adult lives it’s inevitable that we’ll come across people who again test our patience in exactly the same way that teacher did back in our adolescence.
In this amusing 3-minute video, Buddhist nun Pema Chodron reveals the important role these “troublemakers” play in our lives, and what they’re really there to teach us. While understanding this may not detract from their frustrating behavior, it does help you look at things from a different perspective.
Do you agree that these kinds of people are there to teach us a valuable lesson about ourselves?
