When I was disturbed for something I vaguely searched the web and got a good article from this website and immediately thought of putting it on my blog. Check it out
Is it the Emotional Turbulence ? Why are you disturbed, what is inside you that gets disturbed. Mind is the key to the whole game. It goes after things that you are attached to.
Mind can not be controlled, If you supress very hard it may bounce back with double the FURY. Do not try to fight it, Watch it like an observer. Go deeper and you may discover that you are the maker of this MIND and not vice versa.
Try to understand the basis. Why Mind is after certain things, because of attachment. When attachment goes away Mind will achieve quietness. Dead do not get disturbed, why do you allow energy flow to elements that disturb you. You have formed a mental picture and when things outside do not match this picture you are disturbed, so you SEE you are the creator of this DISTURBANCE. Acceptance of LIFE IS the the key to avoiding all disturbanc.
Disturbance is directly proportional to your view of LIFE, more seriously you take it more you will be disturbed. If you assign drama value to this life, (this too will pass) you will find that it will become much easier to face LIFE, assign dream value to the incidents and they will not cling to your MIND.
Who are we? Why have we come here, what do we seek and in the end what we have got ? Ponder over these questions, examine your past and see what you achieved so far and what satisfaction it gave ? Why still keep running after things, take life ONE day at a time, dedicate for each job as if you are doing it for your GOD. Do not give up the pursuit, persistence will pay, Path is not easy BUT the end result is worth the struggle.
Why you do not learn from past. You earned 50 then 500 then 5000, did it make you happy? and still you run after 50000 thinking it will make you happy. You have faced many problems in past, what was the outcome, did the world end ? Then WHY you allow the problem today to disturb you.
Understand the fundamentals:
We get disturbed because of our belief PATTERN, I thought he was good but he proved to be bad. Once you understand that problem is not with him BUT with your belief PATTERN then you will begin to change. To remove unwanted belief PATTERNs understanding is necessary, ONCE you have understood the secret of life then you will not be shaken in most difficult situations in LIFE.
The most important thing to understand about life problems: they are created by your unclarity of vision. So it is not that first you see them clearly, then you find the solution and then you try to apply the solution. No, the process is not that long; the process is very simple and short. The moment you can see your life problem clearly, it dissolves.
It is not that you have now found an answer that you will apply, and someday you will succeed in destroying the problem. The problem existed in your unclarity of vision. You were its creator. Remember again, I am talking about life problems. I am not saying that if your car is broken down you just sit silently and see clearly what the problem is: the problem is clear, now do something! It is not a question of you simply sitting under a tree and meditating and just once in a while opening your eyes and seeing whether the problem is solved or not.
This is not a life problem, it is a mechanical problem. If your tire is punctured you will have to change the wheel. Sitting won't do; you just get up and change the wheel. It has nothing to do with your mind and your clarity; it has something to do with the road. What can your clarity do with the road? Otherwise, three thousand meditators here cannot mend one road? Just meditation would have been enough!
But the question is only about life problems. For example, you are feeling jealous, angry; you are feeling a kind of meaninglessness. You are dragging yourself somehow; you don't feel that life is juicy anymore. These are life- problems and they arise out of your unclarity of mind. Because unclarity is the source of their arising, clarity becomes their dissolution. If you are clear, if you can see clearly, the problem will disappear.
You have not to do anything other than that. Just seeing, just watching its whole process: how the problem arises, how it takes possession of you, how you become completely clouded by it, blinded by it; and how you start acting madly, for which you repent later on…. You realize later on that it was sheer insanity, that "I did it in spite of myself. I never wanted to do it, still I did it. And even when I was doing it I knew that I didn't want to do it." But it was as if you were possessed.... (by Osho)

Good one...It says that you have to analyse your problem from a third angle rather than being singular in perspective. I feel its more a kind of accepting what has happened and but not sitting and regreting for that instead look for the way forward..
Keep coming up with such articles...which might make us to learn a lot about life's handling
