Some people believes that everything happens for a reason; as do I. However, I find that people sometimes get overly hung up with finding the reason. The reality is that, the reason may not always be significant; or even make much sense. In those situations, I just accept that shit happens. C’est la vie.

Just the other day, my wallet went for a dunking. As for where, I will leave that up to your imagination. This was following a series of unfortunate events earlier in the day. Now, that is enough to completely ruin anyone’s day. You may even be tempted to credit Murphy’s Law; but not me. I reckon Murphy’s Law is a bit overrated.

I was a bit surprised myself at how I handled the situation. Understandably, I was upset. However, it didn’t take long before I see the funny side of things. There was even a smile on my face. Things could have turned out worse. It could have been my Nokia N82 which was in the other pocket. It could have been a public toilet. The fact is that it was something that can be easily fixed.

The next time something gets you down, don’t be feeling sorry for yourself. Bad shit happens to people who feels shit. Instead, learn from the situation and move on. Look at the bright side of life. There is almost always something positive about a situation; if you look hard enough.
