Equanimity

hi bloggie...
its been a while i know...so how u doin?
well, today was a day i jus felt to relax....had to let some tension be released...
so i took a nice shower and jus relaxed myself there and i really felt good during and after.
well i really needed that, as well as some music and a friend's phone call cuz i really was irritated today and i should not have been. the weather was really hot and made me uncomfortable and some people just don't know when to keep their comments to themselves...but those things should not affect me. i felt really bad after and it was like i could have lost my temper just because of that comment even tho it wasn't directed at me...i just should not have felt so much affected by it....anything that people say, they are free to...it should just be words thrown out in the air and should not affect us....equanimity is the key...control of senses and especially the mind, in order to remain unaffected by the roller coaster of life is essential so that we may neither be elated by praise nor depressed by negative criticism....it's easier said than done but it's one thing that we must aim to achieve....and i must definitely aim to do so more in life myself...
