Life continues to provide us with lessons. Today I was tested with ‘finding the silver lining’ in what some would say is just ‘bad luck’.
I was pulling up at work and I heard a shhhhh noise, yup… it was the sound of a flat tyre!! However in my situation today I thought it wasn’t bad luck that I had a flat tyre but instead I was lucky.
WHY? You may be thinking…
Well, I was lucky because;
✔ Flat tyre happened just outside my office
✔ It happened in a place where there was no traffic
✔ I walked into my office and my team members offered to help me change the tyre
✔ I then had one of my team members Tim ask me to get the “lock nut” out of the boot, I looked at him with a blank look on my face and said “Um…yeh I’m not sure what that is?” So… Today I learnt something new (the importance of the lock nut for when you are changing a tyre)
✔ Tim gave me tips in changing a European car tyre (there are some tricky components to those wheels) and I now feel confident to change the tyre alone if this ever happens again
✔ When you turn a negative or unlucky situation into a positive you realise that there are always solutions & with a positive approach it can be solved smoothly.
So, next time you may think you’re unlucky, change the mindset to “what luck or positive experience will come out of this situation?”
In life situations can be negative or unlucky but we have a choice in how we want to respond in regards to the situation. You can change a negative situation in to a positive by changing the mindset. If you can go into a situation with a positive approach it can help with solving the problem a little smoother.
I hope you like today’s blog and listen into the Feel Good Thoughts Podcast #6 below or on iTunes to hear about my flat tyre experience.
Have a great weekend,
Joey
