Now, the above subject title is no doubt gonna need some explanation there....
So, I was wanting to get on my computer earlier to check out this site, read/respond to posts, watch videos, etc., and.... whaddya know, my computer keyboard refused to play nice with me and wouldn't let me type in my password to get into my normal Windows mode... *cue anger rising here on my end*
Anyway, once I was able to calm my anger down and get my head back on straight again, a common enough occurrence around here it seems like, I was able to tell myself the following, and see the hidden blessing in that I wasn't able to use my computer just yet, which enabled/allowed me to do other things that did not require a computer, such as reading and meditating on some spiritual books/topics of mine that I am doing my best (ish) to keep a regular practice on in the current day and age. Practice better time management and whatnot... Such allowed me to not only cool my jets and get my head on straight again, as well as allowed me some deep spiritual/universal insights that I had the opportunity and privilege to reflect on during my 'no computer time' moments, instead of yelling at the keyboard, going 'WTF is wrong with you?!" that I have been very much prone to doing in the past. Which would have only led to an energy drain and me feeling like crap afterwards.
Instead I was able to achieve new heights of bliss, philosophical musings and spiritual contentment (inspirational, beautiful music helped there too), further enabling me to heal, grow and evolve as a person and spiritual, divine being of the Universe. All because my keyboard refused to work, and I didn't know why that was at the time.
So while I had gotten mad at said keyboard for a short period of time, I was able to move past that before it got too "out of control" and without me flipping on the volcanic switch of critical damage in order for me "to solve the problem" (which never works for obvious reasons).
And if my keyboard had not been a purposeful PITA (no bread involved) I would not have had the opportunity to learn that critical lesson in anger management, because I did my best to look deeper than the annoying surface situation that was first presented to me. And I rec'd loads of universal blessings b/c I strove not to let 'my anger take me for a ride'.
So, I have to thank my keyboard for that lesson, even though it ultimately had far more to do with how I chose to handle the situation. The keyboard was just the catalyst here. I did the rest.
And by the way, I got my keyboard issues resolved, so no worries there.
Funny where important life lessons can come from, y'know? They can literally come from anywhere.
