| We had recently rented a small apartment for our
office. We had an agreement with the landlord regarding rent and
other terms. Once to clarify a particular issue, I telephoned him.
The landlord told me something that I realized was outside of our
contract. He further told me in an angry tone, "How do you
expect everything according to your own terms?"
That time I started getting angry. My ears started feeling hot
and I started feeling breathless. My voice trembled and I shifted
to an argumentative tone.
I spotted that I was having both fearful and angry temper. I realized
that there was nothing right or wrong and that temper is bad. I
spotted that I could excuse the landlord rather than accuse him.
I know that I cannot control the outer environment, only my inner
environment. I decided that my internal peace is my supreme goal
and moved my muscles by taking one or two deep breaths. I dropped
the judgment. Softly, but in certain words, I brought to his notice
the original terms of the contract.
Before Recovery practice I would have gotten annoyed and thought
he was wrong. I might have shouted or said something in an angry
tone which he would have capitalized upon. I would have spent two
or three days in distress, confusion and anger. Because of the Recovery
Method I became quiet instantly and could see the total view. I
could control my speech muscles and express myself in a cultured
manner. These efforts certainly helped me to maintain my internal
peace as well as the internal peace of our organization. I endorse
myself for all the efforts I have taken.
