There’s something to be said about things not working out the way that you’ve planned. It’s easy to become numb, less hopeful and stay permanently there. However, it’s also just as easy to change your attitude about it. Don’t you think?
When you’ve faced something or dealt with something, did anyone ever tell you that you needed to change the way you looked at things? In between our blurriness, maybe there is something that we can always take from every situation.
Not knowing why, having to trust that things will work out in a senseless situation seems impossible. We often become certain that if we had an explanation for our challenges, then we could accept their losses. But maybe knowing everything would actually hinder everything…
There’s an old African proverb that goes like this: “If there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm.” It’s a saying that is proven in the inspiring movie, Creed. Its meaning makes us move past focusing on those we think to be our greatest opponents.
When you have the perspective that life happens for you, you can stop battling all of the things that bother you. You can accept when things may not always go as you plan. And most of all, you can live a calmer life, knowing that everything is happening exactly as it should be.
