Growing up my mum always used these words. She often used it when my dad seemed upset. When it had been my time to receive the message I understood exactly what she meant. Many would be surprised at what I am about to say and some would actually realize that those unanswered events didn't just happen because of dumb luck.
We are all lucky in life. Some more than others, but that is due to the decisions we make. Not because others were more worthy or some nonsense like that.
One of the many incidences that made me realize how true this simple advice is occured during the holidays. My dad is one those type of people who are a bit too punctual and so he got really upset that day when we got delayed in packing up to leave for the week. We were maybe fifteen to twenty minutes late from our set departure time. As we drove, not very far from home, there had been a horrific accident . The cops and ambulance had just arrived and when we asked around , the accident had happened the exact time as we had predicted to have passed that area if we had left on time.
This was just one of the many incidences that has happened to me and probably has happened to many of you.
For every bad incidence in life, I always remind myself that there is always something good coming out from it. Even if I am not the benefactor.
