"But even if you do suffer for doing what is right, you are blessed.

Do not fear what they fear and do not be intimidated, but in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord." - 1 Peter 3:14-15a.

At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady. She started screaming out of fear.

With a panic-stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky.

The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but ...it landed on another lady in the group. Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama.

The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter. The waiter stood firm, composed himself, and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt. When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.

Was the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behavior?

If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed?

The waiter handled it near to perfection, without any chaos.

So, you see it is not the cockroach but the inability of those people to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed the ladies.

Let’s look at our own lives:

- It is not the shouting of our father, mother or our boss or our wife, or husband that disturbs us, but it's our inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs us.

- It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs us, but our inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs us.

More than the problem, it's our reaction to the problem that creates chaos in our life.

The women reacted, whereas the waiter calmly responded.

Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always well thought of.

Lessons for us:

- We should not react in life.

- We should always respond.

- We should be calm like the waiter.

A HAPPY person is not because Everything is RIGHT in his Life.

He is HAPPY in Life because of his Attitude toward Everything is Right!

Change your Attitude, be Happy and...

Stay Blessed!
