We will always have people or situations in life that we cannot control. The manner in which we respond to these will determine the quality of our lives.
As a Reiki Master, I have realized that certain challenging students / clients will be guided towards me for mutual benefit. In embracing the challenge, is a blessing of enormous proportions because I have acquired a good measure of compassion and understanding of where that particular soul is currently on their path and the best way to assist him/her with guidance is more easily grasped by me as if I were channelling it from the individual's spiritual guides, which is probably the case.
It may seem easier to just avoid networking with difficult people or situations by methods of avoidance. Irritation can be an important spiritual teacher and remaining centered in an uncomfortable situation is far more valuable than doing so in a happy environment.
Acceptance, tolerance and patience are attributes of the spiritually evolved, and trying to eliminate irritations instead of understanding them will not assist anyone to evolve spiritually. These are valuable opportunities to develop spiritual qualities and our lives are filled with them. Use them constructively.
