Everyone knows that in life sometimes things don’t happen
the way you plan. Other times things don’t happen at all, and even more often,
all the things you don't want to happen, happen. But that’s just life. And
because we all know it, we all have a choice to make. Granted, most choose to
complain about it every chance they get, and for years I was one of those
people. I’d take every opportunity to whine about the amount of money I paid
for college tuition, while drinking a seven dollar cup of coffee at the campus
Starbucks. I’d gripe about the weather, my job, my family, friends, my wants
and unrealized dreams, everything. I was buried deep in a world full of
troubles. As my life flew by, I hardly even noticed because I was too busy
focusing on everything that wasn’t right, instead of taking every moment for
what it was worth.
When I was twenty-six years old, all of that changed. Because
life happened, in the best way and the worst way all at once. You see, along
with giving you everything you don't want at all the wrong times, and
in the worst ways possible, life also has a way of giving you everything you
didn’t know you always needed, in the best way, at just the right moment. I guess that’s why so many people learn to take
the bad with the good and smile even when no one’s looking.
