• 2．Once，Buddha was walking from one town to another with some of his followers．This was in the initial days．While they were traveling，they happened to pass a lake．They stopped there and Buddha told one of his followers，"I am thirsty．Please get me some water from that lake there"．
     The follower walked up to the lake．When he reached it，he noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water and，right at that moment，a bullock cart started crossing the lake right at the edge of it．As a result，the water became very muddy，very dirty．The follower thought，"How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink？!"So he came back and told the Buddha，"The water in there is very muddy．I don't think it is fit to drink"．

• 3．Have you ever noticed that some difficult situations tend to repeat themselves？Does it seem as if you married or dated the same kind of person several times in different bodies with different names？Have you run into the same type of boss over and over again？If you don't deal well with authority figures at home，then you will have an opportunity to deal with them out in the world.
     You may try desperately to avoid these repeated difficult situations，which seem to have become your set patterns，but they will eventually catch up with you.The only way you can free yourself of them is to shift your perspective on them seriously and persistently.To face the challenge means you need to bravely accept the fact that something within you keeps drawing you to the same kind of person or issue repeatedly in your life.This is no easy task，since it means you have to change，and to change is not always easy.Staying just as you certainly is comfortable in its familiarity，but does not help you advance spiritually.
     Rising to the challenge of identifying and releasing your patterns forces you to admit that the way you have been doing things isn't working.However，the good news is that by identifying and releasing your patterns，you actually learn how to change.In order to facilitate your process of change，you will need willingness and patience.
     When struggling to make a change，ask yourself， "How willing am I，really，to make this change？" If you truly want to change，you will make a commitment to the process of it.If you absolutely hate getting stuck in traffic，chances are that you need a little work in the area of patience.And，chances are，you will probably get stuck in more traffic jams than someone who has patience.It is not because the universe has a sense of humor.
     You just notice and care about the traffic more than someone who has patience.Remember，you just need willingness and a little patience.Once you master these，you will most likely find the challenge of identifying and releasing your patterns far less frightening.
  
  （1）How can you get rid of repeated difficult situations in your life？
