“Be grateful for all the difficult people that challenge you in life, for they give you the opportunity to learn & evolve.” ~ Natalie Ledwell

Most of us have at least a few people in our lives who push our boundaries and test our patience.

Like that neighbor who insists on mowing the lawn at 6 am on Sundays...

Or the aunt that puts you down and never has anything nice to say…

Or a spouse or friend that betrays you.

But when we impulsively react to people that irritate us or have wronged us, we instantly get pulled into their own vortex of negativity.

Yet even from these negative people and situations, it’s still possible to get positive results.

And that’s by showing them [http://www.mindmovies.com/blog.php?link=308_5  gratitude. ]

Why?

Because every single person in your life has the potential to teach you more about love, forgiveness, compassion, trust, and  yourself.

So why not take the opportunity to grow and evolve from every relationship?

<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:AvenirLTPro-Roman;font-size:16px;">1. Listen with your heart to what they have to say without interrupting.

<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:AvenirLTPro-Roman;font-size:16px;">4. Don’t tell them they’re wrong; resist the temptation.

<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:AvenirLTPro-Roman;font-size:16px;">8. Apply the skills you’ve learned from them - like courage, patience, and resilience - to the rest of your life.

<p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:AvenirLTPro-Roman;font-size:16px;">9. Introduce them to someone who can also give them the opportunity to grow and evolve, like they did for you.
