Sitting in traffic during rush hour. Waiting in line at an Apple store. Technical glitches. Changes in the weather. A friend cancelling at the last minute. These are things that happen in everyday life that you can’t get around. It is what it is. Even though they’re really annoying, it’s just part of how the world flows. Sometimes the control freak in me is like, if I had done xyz differently, then so much could have changed. But we are not able to control everything that happens. However, you can control how you react to it. Your response in this moment is the only thing you’ll ever be able to control in life. If you know some things are just inevitable, try to be prepared, stay positive, flexible, and open minded. I’ve always had mixed feelings about this saying, but it’s true. ‘You can handle whatever life throws your way’.
