Are we there yet? It can be one of the most annoying questions you can hear 400 times on a long journey, but it doesn’t have to be; If you can learn to answer the question each time as if you’re hearing the question for the first time, your reason for being annoyed disappears. The only reason it can become annoying is because you are accepting their impatience.
A Bee landed on my arm one day, I just watched it passively for about 20 to 30 seconds while I let it decide if I had anything it needed, I didn’t so it flew away to find what it did need.
I didn’t give it anything to fear, so it didn’t sting me. if I had tried to swipe it away, the story could have had a very different ending. The Bee would have been angry at being hit and tried to retaliate by stinging me or the people near me.
Watching people work with animals is one of my favourite things to do, it also teaches some really good lessons.
One day, I was watching a dog handler working with an angry dog. The dog was barking continuously for what seemed like a long time. The dog handler didn’t do anything except stand in front of the dog. He didn’t ask the dog to be quiet or try to manhandle the dog. After a while, the dog stopped barking and relaxed. That was the moment the dog handler was in charge of the situation. He didn’t accept the dog’s anger or fuel his anger, so the dog stopped being angry.
Above are a few examples of not accepting negative emotions. If you apply the same process to the people you meet, you too can learn not to accept their negative emotions.

The one message to remember about people with negative emotions is: They are generally unhappy with their own life, they can’t fix their problem themselves, so they transfer their unhappiness onto other people until somebody recognizes their cry for help. I’ll leave you with a quote that makes a lot of sense.
“We can’t change our past… we can’t change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We can’t change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes.” ~ Charles R. Swindoll.
