Let’s Make Sure We Put Things Into Perspective

I feel lucky in so many ways. I have an awesome family and group of friends. I have found a second career that I absolutely love and have been lucky enough to have found success and fulfillment.
I joined another program this weekend that I am very excited about and wanted to dedicate this week (because I have the full week off) to working and promoting it.
I was thrilled to have this time and then life happens. The father of one of my closest friends passed away. This wasn’t unexpected but it is an emotional time for everyone involved. Two days later, I was in a car accident and my car was totaled. A very unwelcome occurence and huge nuisance.
As I sat around feeling badly about all that was happening I had to stop for a moment. Yes this stinks. But guess what, it just stinks. That’s all. It is just what happens in life. That’s it.
Nothing that has happened to me or my friends’ family isout of the ordinary. It’s not what you want to necessarily deal with but you do because things just happen when you are living your life.
It is all about perspective. It is not about money, being successful, being liked or not liked, being educated or any of that. It is how you view your situation and put it into a healthy perspective.
Let me add before I post this that I do believe and see people whose lives have been difficult from the beginning and know nothing else. I am not taking about them. I am talking about me and others like me who have had some ups and downs but in general really don’t have anything to complain about.
This post was for me.
