Maybe You Were Meant to Have a Cold This Weekend
Things happen for a reason.We are on a path.
Considering fate, perhaps, the cold you caught on Friday night was meant to be. Perhaps we have to re-imagine the notion of “oh no, I’m sick, my weekend is ruined.”
Perhaps, we consider it an opportunity to cozy up with a book that develops a business idea we have been entertaining, your RSS/Twitter feed that let’s you know about an e-commerce special you need to capitalize on before midnight (oh, the money you’ll save), hang out with grandma who will more likely than not, impart her wisdom on you which will be more wise and valuable than anything you may have picked up in your school years.
On that train of thought, what if you never caught that cold and you decided to go out on that Friday night? You are crossing the street and while you are checking your phone for the text message your friend just sent you about where to meet for drinks, you are hit by a car.
To wash the morbid taste out of your mouth, all in all, to quote Katy Perry:
“Maybe the reason why all the doors are closed / So you could open one that leads to the perfect road”
Every moment we live in our lives, whether we get up on our feet, or lay in bed, is an opportunity.
