best things in life that happens at the worst times

to die would be an awfully big adventure.
--Peter Pan, J. M. Barie


the little things in life we never know we would love. did you ever think and smile upon things that makes you angry sometimes? things that annoy you in the most unsuitable time of the day. circumstances that makes you hate certain event or person? these little things we encounter, we would never know what it actually did to alter our whole life...

i got this once in a forwarded email some time after the september 11th attack, and it changes my view on certain things. just bear with me and read through these that i have copied from that email and think for a bit : )

the head of a company survived 9/11 because
his son started kindergarten.

another fellow was alive because it was
his turn to bring donuts.

one woman was late because her
alarm clock didnt go off in time.

one was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike
because of an auto accident.

one of them
missed his bus.

one spilled food on her clothes and had to take
time to change.

one’s
car wouldnt start.

one couldnt
get a taxi.

the one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before. he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. he stopped at a drugstore to buy a band-aid. that is why he is alive today..

now when i am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone, all the little things that used to annoy me,


i think to myself,


this is exactly where im meant to be at this very moment.



...try taking a minute to reflect, and not just be angry at the littlest things. being angry doesnt solve anything. it kills a lot of things, including our senses to kindness and love.
