Situation Proofing Yourself (Part 1)

We are always learning a lesson at every step of our lives. The real life situations are our hidden lessons which come to teach us something or the other in a short period of time and bring in front of us questions in the form of – How will I ever live a life without a loved one, lost due to death or due to differences in opinions or Why did this particular event ever have to happen to me like an illness or a sudden financial loss or When will I achieve the desired success in a difficult scene full of events that challenge my mental strength or What did I do in my past births the result of which I am seeing in the form of a loved one not looking at me with the love and respect that I deserve?

We all know what is water-proofing. A rain coat worn in the rain does that. In a similar manner is situation-proofing. The situations are there. They will always be present from time to time. But you have to mould the way you live your life and make important positive changes in the way you perceive difficult situations and become situation-proof. Situation-proof means you become free from the influence of the situations and free of worry. Life for all of us does involve different types of challenging situations. The situations will sometimes be in the form of a temporary increase of my own negative nature characteristic like anger or jealousy or ego; sometimes in the form of lack of respect by a work colleague. Also, there will sometimes be a challenging or difficult task to be done in life; sometimes there will be difficult relationships with people and a clash of personalities with someone. And also at times, there will be a temporary health issue in my physical body, etc.
