My Instinct

January 5, 2008 / by carrielucenda

So we are only five days into the new year, and things have already become interesting, at least for me.

Yesterday I was following a coworker to a work location, and out of the blue a cop pulls him over.  So I pull over to, because I didn't know where I was going and needed the help of my coworker.  The cop gives my coworker a ticket for running a stop sign and then approaches my car and writes me a ticket for the same exact thing.  Can you believe that?  My first instinct was to not pull over, and just call my coworker when I got further down the road and out of the way.  I should have went with my instinct, your gut feeling never lies to you.

On the contrary, about  two years ago if this same situation would have happened to me I would have flipped out.  The past couple of years have taught me to calm down, and just accept that I cannot control every aspect of my life.  Good and bad things are going to happen to me, and I have to learn to walk gracefully through  both of them.  

No object, catastrophe, illness or person etc.. is going to ruin my day, month, year or LIFE.
