In a Lousy Situation,

Choose Zenatude

At the Wonderfront Festival in San Diego last month, the gates were supposed to open at Noon…

Due to sound check issues, we had to wait until 2pm.

Most of the attendees remained patient and calm. I found it an opportunity to meet new people.

Baby Rose was the first to perform and mentioned nothing of the mishap, everything about her performance was uplifting and energizing. The energy fizzled out when the fourth band took the stage.

The lead singer didn’t hold back and blasted out his disappointment and anger towards the event organizers, setting off extreme negative vibes. They were clearly pissed off that their time on stage was shortened and had to let the crowd know how they felt. After the third mention of this, I left the performance.

If you find someone disturbing your Zenatude, remove yourself from the situation if you’re not able to help diffuse it.

Things don’t always happen according to your plan. It’s how you react that’ll make a difference. It’s natural to immediately feel upset, betrayed, angry, sad in unexpected, uncomfortable situations. It’s what you do next that’ll determine your outcome.

In a lousy situation, one thing you have control of is your attitude. Choose Zenatude.
