See the loving hand of god behind everything and tolerate inconveniences


Therefore, an intelligent person, a devotee of God, does not measure his success by such a meaningless standard- the failure of others. He by understand that real success in life is in pleasing god because only by the mercy of God can all the problems be solved, once and for all. And knowing that everything happens by the will of god, he lives by the wise saying: what cannot be cured has to be endured.
This same truth is taught by Lord Krishna in Bhagavad- gita (1.14)

matra sparsas tu kaunteya
sitosna sukha dukkha dah
agamapayino’ nityas
tams titikiasasva bharata

Krishna says, “o son of Kunti, the nonpermanent appearance of the happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, o scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.”
For example, the duty of a housewife is to cook. In summer season, though the kitchen may be very hot, she cannot say, “I will cook only in winter. In summer, the kitchen may be hot, she has to just tolerate.   go on with her duty cooking
