When Things Go Wrong, Maybe It’s All Alright
Five rules on finding an opportunity while facing down life challenges
I started researching cars about a year ago because my 2007 Honda Civic was starting to show her age. I decided, by the end of 2019, I would have a new car.
I spoke it to the universe. I said, “God, Universe, I don’t know how I’m going to get a new car, or how I’m going to pay for it, but by the end of the year, I will have a new car.”
Be Careful What you Wish For
Rule №1: Be really clear about what you want because the universe has a sense of humor
When speaking things into existence, get your shit in the right order.
I say this because, within days of again saying, “God, you’re gonna get me a new car.” I was in an accident.
The crash was in no way my fault — and I wasn’t injured. I was going straight, the driver to my right attempted to turn left in front of me.
She got a ticket. My car, Maggie Mae got totaled.
The insurance company wouldn’t pay to fix her. They’d give me a check instead.
