Handling the Unexpected

This weekend was evidently a rough one for some Blogger staff members. Some form of 'technical difficulty' occurred, resulting in a LOT of missing posts, worldwide. As far as my blog goes, Wednesday's post on old memories and Thursday's post on back pain disappeared. Thursday's post has been restored, but Wednesday's is still missing. While it is rather frustrating to have lost my work, the situation has presented a great subject for today's blog - dealing with the unexpected.

I am a very firm believer that everything happens for a reason (see Karma's a Bleep!). At the very least, we are constantly presented with opportunities to learn. Taking that viewpoint when things don't go your way can change your perspective on your entire life. Remember, experiences are neither good, nor bad; they are simply opportunities to clear our karma.

So, the next time your plans fall through, or you meet an unexpected setback, take a minute before you freak out. Don't move a muscle. Don't breath, don't blink, don't think. Let your emotions come, and experience them, but don't act. After that wave has passed you will be able to step back and see the truth and value behind what happened.

For whatever reason Wednesday's post is gone. That's ok. Maybe it wasn't the right time to write about old memories. Someday it will be and I can repost then.  Until such time, I appreciate the work done by Blogger's staff and I know I wouldn't have this great platform for sharing without them.

Namaste
