"If you can cultivate the right attitude, your enemies are your best spiritual teachers because their presence provides you with the opportunity to enhance and develop tolerance, patience and understanding".

-Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama.

Finding a good attitude can be hard at times; especially when you need to stay positive. It only takes a moment to say the wrong thing and make the situation progressively and possibly irreversibly worse. And while it may be difficult to change things back to what they were, what you can do is learn from your mistakes and make the next occurrence a smoother experience. You may even find a way to both beat and satisfy your critics. Their presence can be distracting because the very sight of them puts fear into you, but it’s also the quickest way to overcome them. If you can take the opportunity, it’s a chance to make you a stronger person. You’ll find the patience to put up with them no matter how many circles they try to lead you around. And if you can see your enemy’s point of view, it’ll make it easier to reason with them.
