‘’Studies Have Shown That It Do Be Like That Sometimes’’

This is a funny quote I’ve seen on Facebook recently. It made me laugh. But it’s true. Sometimes it just is like that. Some days or periods nothing we do works. We do everything perfectly and it doesn’t work. No matter what!

Just last night, working Uber. I had a ride where I hit all the potholes in London, almost hit 2 cars, and took the only 2 roads on my route that were blocked. I realized from the beginning that something was off. But nothing I did could help me. So, I got one star.

I stopped for a bit after the ride. I was angry for 15 min. And then I accepted the situation. Sometimes it happens and you can’t do anything about it.

My next ride, everything went smoothly. I drove nice and safe and was charming. I got 5 stars and a £5 tip.

I didn’t try to do anything different. That’s the paradox. It just happened. So, it’s in this way you see…

These things happen to people, and they can’t move past them. They just cling to the emotions of anger or fear and can’t believe this is happening to them. Even if 10 great things happened to them before. They just can’t shake it. And they dwell on these bad feelings for so long that it just becomes part of them. And that is how you start looking negatively at the world.

But it doesn’t have to be like that. Just accept that that bad thing (or things) happened. You can be upset for a while. It’s your right! Just ride the emotions out. And then move forward. And as in my small example you will find success again.
