“Often in life the things that go wrong lead to the things that go right.” Glamour Magazine
It’s a full moon tonight and the wind is still howling in Bermuda – it’s enough to drive anyone bunkers. So when I saw this quote it brought everything back into perspective for me.
We have had a few periods of sunshine today reminding me that it is there light even on the darkest days but then the clouds roll back in blocking out the light, plunging us into darkness followed closely behind by the heavens opening to release torrential downpours – making us all stop in our tracks to question whether what we were going to do is still necessary. Making us take a breather from rushing around to decide whether we were going to do something because it was easy and once the weather changed it became more of a challenge – forcing us to decide if we could do without that one action.
And that’s the same thing that happens to us when things go wrong. It’s not because we have failed at all but more because things go wrong to force us to stop and question whether we were moving in a direction that is good for our souls. Forcing us to decide whether we need to change direction to make things right again. And often times these detours put us on track for the outcome we were seeking in the first place but in a much more enlightened way.
Okay so now I’m going to drag myself back to writing, the sun is out again for the minute, giving me inspiration to write again; without feeling bogged down by the darkness.
PS Happy Birthday Brodie, a whopping 10 lb baby who came into this world two years ago pushed out by his Amazon mother without an epidural showing us all that often in life the things that go wrong ( a 10 lb baby trying to come out of his mother – I can only imagine her pain) lead to the things that go right ( a healthy baby boy thriving and flourishing). The power of the mind is totally unbelievable and shows that when we engage it we can move mountains or push out a 10 lb baby without any drugs!!!!.
