Life is a mystery!

Have you ever experienced deciding to be happy during the day, or just to stay away from negativity but when you're just about to start, something happens to change it?
Arrghhh! There are times when I decided to start my day by being calm and joyful when something happens to reverse it. Like when I was just planning to be kind to someone I don't like much but that someone seems to sense it and does something to anger me. Or when I refused to be stressed at the beginning of the day but what I encounter first thing in the morning is a stressor, ugh!
Well, life ain't always a bed of roses

Hi neelia_lyn, I know exactly what you mean and some really do have a way of putting you down just when you are determined to do better. Some people can handle this better than others because they are able to ignore the negative, knowing that it can only harm us if we give it permission. Few of us are that strong however,but we have to work on it as we must not give others control over our lives. Blessings.

I do agree. I admire those who can soar above those negativism and in spite of those they can still keep on as if things have been always right. Yes, we must have to work on ignoring the negative and be positive instead.
Thank you for the advice, Pose123

You're right, life is not always a bed of roses and many times the world seems to be like the hell. We can not control the events which occurs outside. It seems that we need to be patient the major part of our lives. We are here on the world for a while. Perhaps there is a better world beyond of this one. I don't know that yet. Have a good day.

Yes, we are not in control but I believe though that in everything that's happening there is something we get to learn. I am sure there is a better place
Have a great time!

Yes, we don't really know what will happen next. Just like what happened to me the other day, i was so eager to arrive early at the office as i am conducting a training of our new staff but when i am about to take the train, instead of stepping inside, my left leg stepped on the gap between the platform and the train, so my leg went down deep into the gap. It is good my right leg was still up at the platform and i just went down on my knees. Good thing also the train did not move, if it did, my left leg went with the train or my whole body. While my leg is going down the gap i could feel the skin on my leg seems being scraped off. It was so painful because the gap is narrow but i was able to pull my leg up immediately. When i reach the office i checked my leg and i found three big hematomas. God thing, i wore a slack with a thick material.
That is why in our life, we should always be careful and ready.

That was scary! You are right, we are not in control of what will happen later or the next day. We just have to always trust God for everything and of course to always be careful.
Thanks for sharing, triplejazzm!
