Try to remember this joke whenever something is bothering you. Immediately try to connect with the joke and see with awareness what is bothering you. Go deep down and see whether you are really having a problem or you are simply allowing your mind to play. You may just laugh at the end of it.

One lady was traveling on a long-distance flight.
The air-hostess came serving food for everyone. She found the lady fast asleep and so she moved on to the next person.

The lady woke up after a while and asked for her food.
The air-hostess brought her food for her.
The lady touched the food and flared up, “What sort of an airline are you running? The food is not warm. I have paid through my nose to take this flight and I can"t even get warm food!"

The air-hostess apologized saying, “Ma"am, please excuse us. The warmer is not working. The rest of the people also had their food this way."
The lady said, “Is that so? Then it is alright."

(Laughter!)

See, the food remains cold even now, but the lady is no more unhappy because she knows that everyone else also had the food that way! This is what I mean when I say that everything is a play of the mind, everything is an adjustment of the mind. The mind keeps switching its stance and playing on you, because you have allowed it to take over. You have not centered yourself on contentment and so you sway according to your mind.

So as I was saying, if you are not able to laugh at the end of the day, it means that you are still serious about the whole thing; you still feel that you are shouldering the whole world and that it is because of you the whole show is running.
