The Accident
Yesterday morning I woke up and on my way to look at an apartment I had the unfortunate experience of getting into a bad car accident. My first car, which I planned to drive until the wheels fell was t-boned so hard that the cost of repair probably will be more than the value of the car. Needless to say I was not really happy. In the moment that it happened I was really pissed off and found myself in a somewhat self destructive thought pattern.
I felt my stress and anxiety levels start to go off the charts. To add to that, it was my second day of work and I knew I was going to be late to the office. But, in that moment I had to remind myself “Focus on what you can control, let go of what you don’t.” Lately I’ve hit a nice little momentum of success with getting my job, new freelance work, and other things that have reinforced my belief in many self help concepts. So, I had to ask myself, “How the hell did I bring this car accident in my life?” In that moment I didn’t really find any answers. The police took forever to show up and I didn’t get to see the apartment I was supposed to see. So, my day was off to a lousy start. In that moment when I was about to let to the whole day becoming a disaster, I caught myself and realized that shit happens. You just have to deal and move on. My good surfing buddy said “yeah maybe you should just gone surfing like always. This might be the ocean’s way of telling you that is where you belong”
Divine Order
My coworker told me today that sometimes that bad things happen for the greater good. I’m not sure where this car accident falls into that. But it got me thinking about divine order and the fact that every incident in your life happens at the time it’s supposed to, for the reason it’s supposed to, and ultimately teaches you what it’s supposed to. Surprisingly I did take a few life lessons from the car accident. Last night for the first time since I started my blog I was worried that I had run out of ideas for content. I had written 3 guest posts this week and also committed to some other ones. When the accident I happen I started to worry about every possible thing in terms of money and getting the car fixed. Then I reminded myself why worrying is a waste of time and energy. When I called my dad he said “well, at least you are ok. that’s what matters.” I realized how much truth there was to that. While I lost my car, I still had one of my most priceless possessions, my surfboard. Just kidding. I was fortunate that my car was T-boned on the passenger side instead on the driver side. I walked away with no injuries.
The Law of Attraction
So, you might be wondering what the hell this has to do with The Law of Attraction. I think to some degree you really do have to have faith that everything is working the way it’ supposed to in order for you to get what you want. Perhaps in some twisted way this accident was a necessary incident in a series of events to ultimately bring me everything I want. I think that sometimes the Universe works in strange ways. The key is to be open to the ways it works and not shut yourself off from any and all possibilities.
Hmmm. This on top of no surfing = rough week. Glad you were able to walk away unharmed. Maybe the universe is saying Take a break. Or maybe the universe is just on vaca this week. In any case I think it's a sign to rest!
