Journeys

Today i had the opportuniy to enact my lesson in patience theory. I was waiting patiently for someone who was running late for a meeting because the person was talking to someone else. I realised that as i was waiting i was growing aggitated and annoyed but i tried to calm myself by taking 3 deep breathes. After 20 minutes the lady came out from her meeting with the other person and saw me sitting waiting to speak with her and promptly turned around and went into the main office for whatever reason..this only served to irritate me again...i had 20 monutes left for my lunch hour and it was absolutely imperitive that i had the meeting with the lady. I asked her receptionist if she could remind her of the urgency of this meeting because i was running late for work, i believe that was the conscious me responding rather than the "small" me who would have walked out the door frustrated. I once again took a seat and proceeded to wait for another 10 minutes. After this i got up calmly and explained to the receptionist that i have to go or else i would be late, all the while taking those 3 deep breaths again. As i was about to leave the lady came into the waiting area in told me to come with her into her office. Upon etering her office she explained to me that she is havijgn a problem with moisture in her carpet and she thought we should move the meeting into the conference room. I told her that i havnt the time to move into the conference room as i am late for work so i asked her what i had to ask her, she advised me on it and i thanked her and left. I made it to work 5 minutes late. I believe this was the first step on my journey to attaining an "Immortal Soul" and i do believe i did well enough.
