Life Is Gonna Throw You Curve Balls!
Life is always gonna throw you curve balls. It may be just when you think everything is going right, or right when you don’t need another ball thrown your way. It is truly inevitable. You can try to foresee and plan every single thing but there is not one thing you can do to stop life from happening. But you can decide on how you to respond to those curve balls.
You May Not Control All That Happens To You!
For instance there are going to be times, when someone gets on your last nerve. They may be a friend or family. They may be a stranger. This person might talk bad about you behind your back. Or they might talk crap to you right to your face. And there is no way you could of predicted it or stopped it.
Or their might be a time in your life that you get seriously rear ended while driving to work. So not only is your car damaged and you have to due all the paperwork for the claim. But you will be late or miss work entirely, due to the crash. And there was not one thing you could of done to avoid it.
Another example is if a hurricane were to damage your home. Your house will be shattered to pieces, and your belongings gone. You will have to find a temporary place to stay until the insurance is straightened out. But there is nothing you can do to prevent the hurricane from damaging your house.
But You Can Decide Not To Be Reduced It!
You can’t control any of those things, but you can decide not to be reduced by it. When that friend is talking bad about you behind your back, you can be reduced by it and stoop to her level. You can talk bad about her and maybe even yell, scream and physically fight with her. But that gets you no where, but jail maybe. Or you can take it as a lesson learned. Now you know, that friend isn’t truly a friend at all. You learned not to trust in her as you would a true friend.
And if ever in a serious rear end collision. You will have a decide how you will handle that situation. Do reduce yourself by going off on the person who hit you and make them feel like crap. Just to later find out that, they were rushing to the hospital where their family member was passing away. Instead this is you chance to take a breath. This world we live in is always on the go, so busy, moving faster and faster. You now have a valid excuse to be late to work. Maybe take a little extra time for yourself before getting their. Or if you can, take the rest of the day off and enjoy it for you.
If your house was to be shattered to a million pieces you could reduce yourself to being angry at the world. Or you could decide to take it as an opportunity to find the house of your dreams. And since all your belongings are gone. You now have a reason to go shopping! And those pictures of past memories that are gone, gives you a reason to make a million more great memories.
Good Comes From Everything, You Just got to stay positive!
I know its hard to keep you composure when hit with a hard time, but believe me it is just not worth reducing yourself. Nothing good comes out of it. If you decide to stay positive and keep your mind, heart and eyes open, you can find something positive in every life event.
