An event can be seen as a mistake or a miracle depending on the prism through which you view your life. – An excerpt from the book Small Miracles

Think about it, it could really be how you view what’s happening with your life. It’s like looking a half-empty or half-full glass, you either treat each opportunity with optimism or hate every moment of disastrous things that happen in our daily lives.

I have co-workers who are really pains in the ass. One whom I’d like to call Tita is someone who seems angry with the whole world. It seems her day will never be complete is she hasn’t nagged, and it feels as though it’s her lifelong mission is to share her misery with the rest of the world. I admit to be so tired of her. She’s one emotional burden that is too heavy to carry and sometimes I also start to be angry with the world. I lose my patience and my enthusiasm with everything that involves her. I remember HB once commented out that he couldn’t understand why I need to take on so many people and fight with them. It just dawned to me now that he might be telling me that I am transforming into a monster myself and most of the time, he’d feel all the negative energies and we both didn’t realize it sooner that he easily became my victim. Thinking about it now, will I consider meeting Tita a mistake or a blessing in disguise? It is obvious that with her every mistake is an opportunity for me to shine and I couldn’t have reached my latest status now if not for her shortcomings. But doesn’t that sound so selfish? I am grateful for the blessings that were given to me but sometimes I think the trade is too high ~ my usually jolly and bright personality….Going back to Tita, her continuous display of superciliousness could be another miracle I need. She is a constant reminder that I don’t want to be the kind of person that she is.
