Life is. It unfolds as it will. Things happen. Not all of them are good, and many of them feel terrible when they happen to you or someone you care about.

That’s life.

Does that sound harsh? I don’t mean it to be – I want you to feel empowered by the fact that life happens, and most of the time what happens around you has nothing to do with you.

We often take something personally and get all upset, when in reality the event had not one thing to do with us. For instance, I was behind a driver who didn’t know how to work a traffic circle. It’s really very simple – there’s a yield sign which means that if there’s someone in the circle, let them go before you go, and if there’s no one in the circle, go ahead and go. This person stopped. Waited for every car at every entrance to the circle to be gone before going.

Was I irritated? For a moment, until I decided to laugh instead. Stop signs are octagonal, yield signs are triangular, and the intersection was a circle…clearly the driver in front of me didn’t understand geometry!

When something potentially irritating or infuriating happens, find a way to entertain yourself until it’s over – it’s not about you, so getting upset only hurts you. It’s life. It unfolds as it will. Things happen. Find a way to laugh.
