When a wrench gets thrown into our “plans,”  we remove the wrench and ask “what is so perfect about this?”

Ω

Yes, disappointment is part of the human experience.  Yes, disappointment comes at the worst of times.   However, when we understand and believe that everything is perfect, we can let go of the need to feel disappointed.

When we understand and accept that we are being guided through this life’s journey, we can accept and embrace anything that comes our way.  We can look at changes to our carefully crafted plan as an opportunity for a new experience.  Yes, the experience may not seem like it will have the excitement and the fun of the original plan, but it can be so much more – if we let it.

Life is full of surprises.  Sometimes, the surprises do not come in the form of a present wrapped in beautiful paper with a ribbon and a bow.  Sometimes, the surprise is not at all welcomed in our life’s plans.  However, when we know that these unexpected changes will occur, we can let go of the original plans and draft a new one.   You might even find that somehow you will grow from the experience.

The key to this lifetime, is to understand that this moment is all that you have.  You cannot go back and relive the experiences of the past, and the future is uncertain.  The only certainty in the physical world, is this very moment.  This moment is there for you to enjoy or to discard – the choice is yours.  This moment can be spent fretting over an uncertain future, or lamenting an already-lived past.  This moment is all that you have.  How are you going to live it?

When disappointment and disruption enter our lives, we have a tendency to react.  Yes, reaction is often necessary.  However, when the dust settles and you find yourself sipping on a morning cup of coffee you can ask yourself, “why is this so perfect?”
