Path to Happiness- part 4
Being a good person:
Ok, now it's getting harder. Happiness is hard work! We have to be gracious when people are rude to us in the workplace or the community, because harmony and professionalism is more important sometimes than ego. We need to be grateful to our parents, who loved us and cared endlessly for us for all those years, though at times they really strain our patience with their idiosyncratic ways. Our brother and his wife may really piss us off with their snide remarks over Thanksgiving dinner, but we try to honor that kid in the family photo album sitting next to us at Mount Rushmore (remember how we fought over the binoculars?!). Then there are the spousal obligations- here patience really is a virtue (kidding, Mopey!!). ;)
It's an uphill grind at times to maintain good relations with our family and friends, but what would be the point without these critical relationships.
