Our Responses To Life's Irritations

We all experience obstacles sometimes. Sometimes we allow the obstacles to get in our way of happiness or let them prevent us from moving forward. Our response to an irritation is important. We need to be more like an oyster. The oyster takes an irritation (a grain of sand) and turns it into a pearl. Learning to respond positively when someone or something hurts us can enable us to turn problems, negative feelings, or irritations  into pearls.
