13.A woman was in a hurry to go to the airport.She told the cab driver to drive quickly.She was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she was not aware that they was going by a different route.
Suddenly,a man got inside the cab.He took her handbag where she had placed her visa,passport,and all her money for the trip.The driver,who was in cahoots with the robber,left her in the middle of the dark street.She cursed the world for being so mean to her and thought how unlucky she was in that situation.
That very same night,she heard some shocking news.Tears flowed down her face.Flight 230,which was the plane that she was supposed to have boarded,had crashed.If she had not lost her precious belongings,she could have lost something far more important---her life.
Sometimes bad things really happen.We lose money,fail our exams,or are rejected by others.There are times when nothing seems to go our way.
So what should we do about it?Should we be disappointed?The answer is a resounding"No!"We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the consistent faith that we will get what we deserve.
Don't waste your time and energy on things that can't be changed.Continuous worrying will only affect your health and you'll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.
What if it was the other way around?What if we never ran out of good luck?
There was a man who won the lottery.He thought he was the luckiest person in the world.He became greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on.One day,he made it to the front page of the newspaper again.But this time,it was a different story.He had been killed because of his riches.
If you attain good luck,you can never be too secure about it.Hope for protection and guidance.Life is so unpredictable.You never know what will happen next.
Live one day at a time.We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble.We ask ourselves:"What if I don't get this done in time?"or"What if my family leave me and I've got no one else to turn to?"
Live for the moment.Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine.Believe me.And believe in yourself.As Captain Planet always says,"The power is yours!"
