Yesterday, I was supposed to went home to our province at around 4am. I woke up at around 2:30am and went back to sleep. Unfortunately, I was surprised when I woke up at 6am already which is 2 hours late than the scheduled time. I was suppposed to be near our house already.
On the other hand, I just thought of it that there is a reason for this incident. I just look on the positive side. If I started my travel earlier, I might be still sleepy that time which is really bad for those who drive like me. Furthermore, I just thought that this makes me complete my sleep and did not stressed too much since I need to go back on the same day.
Sometimes, there are incidents that does not follow the plan. As first response, we became angry but on the other hand, we must think positively because there are great reasons for everything.
Have a good day mylotters.

In the last 3 months, my son has made me late for a few things and I got upset with him and let him know that I was angry with him. Then I realized that in three of the incidents, we avoided being in car accidents that happened in the same place at the same time we would have been in these places. I couldn't stay mad at him for long.

Yes, sometimes, we are getting affected by our emotions especially when we are upset, but you will realized that there are always a good reason why it happens. Sometimes, we need to be positive and think the brighter side.

In my childhood I was told every cloud has a silver lining. My daughter's childminder isn't able to work on Wednesday. So my daughter was able to go there this afternoon instead and have a slightly longer time on Friday. Friday is the day of her usual session.
Years ago I asked my boss for time off for a vacation to Tunisia. He said no because he thought the office was too busy at that time of the year. Then jury service wanted me at that time. He again said no and I wasn't able to do that jury service. I arranged my vacation at a different time and he agreed. The price was cheaper than the original day that I wanted to leave on. It had a wonderful time in sunny Tunisia.

That might be a reason why you hadn't been approved by your boss. Because you will get a cheaper vacation trip than the usual. Furthermore, I guess you made all your duties properly and you boss is really satisfied with that.

Sometimes its really hard to look on the bright side but its good that with this you were able to. I am extremely upset that my man is not with me anymore and is with another girl. It hurts so much. Today I was trying to think of all the positive things such as even though we arent together if it hadent been for him buying me things I wouldnt have this cell phone, a book, movies, high heels, or lingerie. I would rather give it all back if it meant I could have him instead.

I think it really depends on the severity of the incident. In your case, it is really hard to think why did it happened? What are the reasons? However, in the long run, it you will find the reason why.

You are right, soemtimes we get affected by our emotions. However, upon realizing, it is really better that such incident happens because it gives us a better outcome.

Yes! definitely right! we must be always positive though most of the time comes bad things to us. There is always a reason behind those troubles that you are dealing with. It's just a matter on how you handle things in a good way.

I agree with you, sometime, we tend to have immediate negative reaction due to upset but in turn we should always look for a good side.

I agree, we definitely need to see the good in the bad. Things happen for a reason only our good Lord knows why. If we will keep on thinking about all the bad things that have happened to us, we will be stuck and we might miss the good things that come our way. Besides, it's a waste of time to still dwell on something that can never be changed.

You are right, some of us focused on the negatives and how to make it positive which is somewhat not good at all. Sometimes, we really need to look on the positive.

I agree on this matter.
Why stress ourselves thinking negative when things went wrong.
Instead think of the positive side and be happy.

Although we cannot avoid thinking such negative vibes but in the end it is still better to think of the positive one and you will feel relieved.
