Blessings In Disguise

-The million trillion insects here in India that are drinking my blood. They are teaching me patience and restraint.

-The extreme heat. It allows me to sweat out all my toxins, as well as gives my muscles the flexibility to stretch in ways I never have before.

-The frequent power outages. They make me appreciate the AC even more once it turns back on.

-The spotty WiFi. Blesses me with ample time away from the screen.

-The times I do get WiFi. Those help build a strong memory, when I have to remember to download more Naruto episodes on Netflix.

-A cold shower. It is actually quite nice after a day of sweating. Also extremely good for my skin and hair, despite the saltiness of the water.

-All vegetarian food. Shows me how strong and healthy I can feel, after a lifetime of believing I couldn’t survive without SCHMEAT in my food.

-Drinking warm water all day. Gives my body a chance to reserve energy while drinking.

-A bunch of Sanskrit terms to learn. A new way to strengthen my mind and expand my horizons.

The only difference between a situation in which I am frustrated and inconvenienced versus content and learning, is my mindset. If I can try to recognize how certain things will help me grow instead of getting worked up, life will be much sweeter. Life will be full of blessings, instead of annoyances.
