I haven't ever met anyone that can truthfully say that every single thing in their life works out exactly like they planned.
I'm also not saying that it is a bad thing.
A person I know, recently told me that the job that they currently have isn't necessarily their dream job. This person followed up the original comment with a drawn-out list of all of the negative attributes of their job. After listening to the list, I remained silent for about ten seconds. Once I could see that this person was finished talking, I kindly reminded him how blessed he was to have a job. I found it interesting that this individual has been an employee with this company for about twenty-five years. I don't believe that someone would stay at the same job for that amount of time if there weren't some 'positives' about the job.
If you've ever seen the Walt Disney movie, 'Pollyanna', there is a valuable lesson to learn from that show, no matter how unfair things seem to be in life, there is always a 'bright side' to any situation. I believe that!
There isn't a situation that somebody else hasn't already endured. Look on the bright side.
If life isn't how you hoped it would be, work hard to make it better. It can only improve when you put your best foot forward.
