When we face disappointments, challenges
and obstacles, the first thing we ask
is, "Why me?"
We don't always
realize that things happen to us
according to our dominant thoughts,
words and deeds.
Even when we work really hard to keep
ourselves in a positive frame of mind,
things happen. When events occur
that we don't expect, they increase our
faith, strengthen our ability to endure
and bring forth our hidden talents,
abilities and strengths. Why me?
As Les Brown would say, "Why not you?
Would you like to recommend someone
else?" Why
you? Because you can handle it.
Because you really do know what to do.
Because you need a little nudge every
now and then to keep you on or put you
back on track.
So the next
time something happens to you, remember,
things don't just happen. They
happen the way they should, at just the
right time, to the right people.
Our job is to know we are equipped to
handle it.
