I queued for approximately five


I queued for approximately five minutes at my local bank to pay some money in today.

During that time I heard:

- 3 sighs from the man in front of me
- A "There seems to be more staff walking around than serving" from the old lady behind me
- A young girl moan about wasting her time and walking out!

All in five minutes! The bank wasn't that busy - it was only 10 a.m. - yet I seemed to be the only person that wasn't getting stressed over the amount of time I was waiting. Why wasn't I? Well, I wasn't because there was absolutely nothing I could do about it!. It happens all the time, everywhere. A train is cancelled. A pile-up causes a traffic jam. Someone doesn't so what they're supposed to. SO WHAT?

Letting the little 'niggles' of life get to you just drains your energy. It makes you miserable and wastes valuable 'thinking time'. If you find yourself in a situation that is annoying, but you can't do anything about it - don't let it get to you! Just accept that these things can, and will, happen regularly in our lives and there is no point in letting them 'ruin' your whole day.
