I am sure many of you have been told from little on to plan for that rainy day. To always be prepared and ready “just in case”…to expect the unexpected.
Well, I do understand that way of thinking and we all want to be safe and secure. But doesn’t always expecting the unexpected go completely against that little voice inside of us that always wants to see the glass half full or believe in positive thinking.
I mean really, based on thinking is believing and seeing ourselves in any particular situation will most likely get us there, then why in the world would I always want to be thinking of the unexpected….because that is a shoe-in that it will actual happen, right?
I had a freak thing happened to me about a year ago and although I know things happen I would never have expected this to happen, nor would I want to have it on my mind all of the time thinking it might.
I normally got out of a car and before my left foot hit the ground something in my hip just popped! In put me in the hospital for 5 days not being able to even lift my leg off of the bed. Long story short…nothing broke, just something in my hip and pelvic area just popped out of alignment. With the pain, I would have bet I broke my hip and my leg! Thankfully no, and I never would have expected that to happen just by getting out of a car.
Back to the thinking about what might happen… I still prefer to think of all the things I want to happen in my life and not the ones I am afraid that might happen. Call it naive or just plain stupid, but I always choose to see the glass half full and quite frankly picture it always overflowing.
Yes, I know there may be twists and turns and road blocks and setbacks sometimes, but just know that too shall pass and only make you stronger. Although often easier said than done, it is always best to keep on keepin’ on and move forward to what you really want out of life…expected or not.
