Everyday trials...

June 23, 2016 8:13pm CST
Last night the rain poured non-stop. In addition to that, the internet had tantrums. I decided to hit the sack when I realized that the case with the internet is hopeless. This morning I woke up to a sunny day. The internet is in good mood as well. And I’m back online. There are some cases in life that is beyond our control. Some are causing us stress. But what your reaction towards it depends on you. It is how you handle the situation that makes a difference. In a heavy traffic, we have two options to handle the situation. One is to get mad and decide to ruin the entire day… or we should stay calm and go with the flow. That would teach us to leave early the next day to avoid traffic. Everyday is a new beginning. It is up to you how you want your day to end. Thanks for reading and hope you’re having a great day. (Photo was taken by yours truly.)

Alright then. Better have it fixed while Mr. Sunny is still up and Mr. Rain hasn't visited yet.

We cannot control everything, but we handle it well. It is a part of the game in our lives to have such obstacles.

True. The problem is always present everyday. It's how you handle it matters. I hope so, God forbid. I don't want to be paranoid with all these irresponsible drivers out there.

beautiful view! i ne'er get upset o'er schtuff such's that myself. when the weathers bad, i unplug all devices anyhow, we're prone to lightnin' strikes that'll hit our transformer nearly e'ery time. i find these times to tend to other schtuff, perhaps catchin' 'p with real mail, pay bills, read a book, dribble some'n paper, 'r e'en jest to listen the raindrops's they fall. yer correct, one's perception can make a huge diff'rence'n how schtuff's handled.

I don't dwell on the things that i can't control too. It definitely doubles the stress.

Thanks. The photo was taken when we had an overnight camp by the sea. It's beautiful to watch Sunrise when you're out there. Yes, it's good to let things be. No stress, no pressure.

A nice post with some very true statements. How we react to situations is up to us. We can make a decision to react one way or another. I think life becomes a bit easier once you work that out.

My internet usually doesn't work when we have a storm, or even when it rains heavily. Unfortunately, I don't handle that situation very well, when there's important things I need to get done. Usually I do get mad and ruin the entire day. I guess I need to learn to calm down.

It's normal to be mad. I did that before. But it is also a waste of time getting mad at things that you have no control of.

We should thankful to HIM in all conditions, even a drop of water can stop our thirst. Too much complaint make life so miserable and lost. Everything happened in life have the hidden meaning that we can;t understand ? Always be positive, have a nice day.

Let us stay positive in life always. Everything that happens, either good or bad, has a good reason why it happens.

I agree with you on that; just stay calm when you cannot control the situation. It is the best thing to do rather than stress yourself or the people around you.
