An uncooperative colleague may be a pain in the neck.  An unfriendly neighbor may dampen your day.  An impatient driver who cuts into your way may spoil your mood.  A stranger may make your day.  A teacher may believe in your potential despite you coming in at the bottom in class.  All these people have one thing in common for you.  They have been divinely tasked to deliver a gift to you.  Be thankful that every one of them appears in your path at the most precise moment.  Your job is to uncover the gift.

The next time you are negatively affected by someone and you feel upset, angry or hurt over it, do pause for a moment.  Coax your negative feelings.  Ask them to remain quiet for a moment while you unwrap the gift.  Try to put yourself in the person's shoes and understand why he is acting that way.  Maybe he is under tremendous pressure and that has severely crippled his ability to behave in a way that he should have.  Perhaps he is suffering great pain and emotionally dehydrated and does not know any better way to release his pain and emotions.  What can you learn here?  That we should not let our extreme negativity infiltrate others.  That we should not let our extreme negativity cripple ourselves.  That we need to learn how to turn our negativity into positivity, into possibilities.  Or perhaps he is angel-sent to force you off your current track so that you can embark on a more purposeful track.

The not-so-nice will come into your life with a gift.  Be thankful and learn the lessons.  Likewise, the nice will also come into your life with a gift.  Be thankful and make good use of the gift.  Say you may have been discriminated at work over your age/height/weight/looks etc.  Subsequently, you landed a new job with an enlightened employer who recognizes your strength and potential and gives you opportunities to perform and grow.  Be thankful for the gift.  Do your part.  Stretch yourself.  Elevate yourself to the next level.  Make good use of the gift.

Every person in your path can be your teacher, if you let them be.  Be open to the possibility and uncover the gift when the next wonderful person comes along, even if he may give you a little headache in the beginning.
