It's how you choose to see it.

I start out today slipping in the bathroom. Luckily i didn't fall.

Then i went to the LRT station to buy my tickets, and the machine ate the two 50-cent coins i slotted in. It then choked out 40-cents back to me after abit of thumping at the machine.

I then took the LRT and had the chance to stand at the driving panel so i have the full view of the railtracks as if i am the one driving the train, but since i've experienced it a few times and there was amazingly an empty seat nearby, i took the seat and sat down.

Because of that a girl was able to take pictures of the train moving at fast speed on the tracks. She got a really nice vantage point of everything.

While walking on the way home from work, i suddenly realized i left my phone back at the office. So in the end i walked back to the office, took it and reached home safely.

Not that anyone reached for me tho, but that's okay.

So my point is....even though those are situations that seem "bad" on the surface, but as long as you change how u perceive the situation, u might find it easier to live by and accept things. Because honestly nothing in this world is absolute; u can't predict what happens next, and u obviously can't control everything, or please everyone. You're only human after all.

I could've cursed the floor for being wet but i'm thankful i didnt fall and injure myself.

I could've cursed the ticket machine for cheating my money, but at least i got 40cents back rather than nothing.

I could've hogged the best view in the train, but i wud've to deal with sore feet (due to the shoes) and the girl prolly cudnt have the chance to take good pictures anyway.

And i'm just thankful for remembering i left my phone at the office.

I didn't really get the worst deal out of all the situations anyway, so what is there to blame and complain about? Things in life....we shouldn't hold onto them too tight, nor shud be be gripping it only too loosely, but see everything with peace and ease and balance, and u'll stroll through life relatively unharmed and more peaceful and happy compared to alot of other people.
