Sometimes things just don’t work out. Best laid plans fail. People let you down. Engines explode and the wheels fall off your car when you are in the race of your life. Sometimes there is no way to avoid a pothole.
What if that thing you wanted was actually a big ugly pothole?
For some of us, including me, it’s difficult to get over disappointing situations. Especially when people whom you trust, or admire, let you down. Well, what if that person, or that situation, wasn’t the best thing for you in the first place?
Perhaps you don’t even know that you simply missed a pothole.
While we absolutely feel the pain of the potholes we hit, it will help if you look at life’s disappointments as potholes you simply dodged.
Everyone needs to miss some potholes in life. As they say, ‘the road of life is not smooth’. Potholes usually show up after a dark time in one’s life, and can really hinder a person’s ability to move ahead when he/she can finally see the light. Anyway, if you can steer clear of them, you might have a smoother trip!
