Fail for Better, a frustration story that turns lives around.

A year after the tragic events of September 11, 2001, a short piece of note was published in a U.S. newspaper. It was simple, quiet but powerful.

Try to finish reading...And if you're a person who gets frustrated with the little things in life, maybe you should read them again.

🔸

"You may have heard of the CEO of a major company who survived that incident just because that day was the day he dropped off his children at kindergarten.

The other man survived because that day was the day he had to buy donuts to work.

A woman was late because the alarm clock didn't ring.

Some are trapped on the New Jersey Turnpike.

Someone missed the bus.

Some people spill coffee on their shirts until they have to go back and change.

Someone. The car didn't start.

Some people go back home to answer the phone.

The other one. It took you too long to get ready.

Some people just can't fly a cab.

But what struck me the most..Is about a man who survived because he was wearing new shoes that day.

The shoes caused blisters, so he stopped by the pharmacy to buy a plaster.

And that's why he survived. "

Since then, when I got stuck on the road, missed my elevator, went home because I forgot my keys, or was called to answer my last second call...

I'll always stop thinking:

🙏 Maybe I'm where I should be, maybe this delay is God's protection...That I would never understand.

So the next time your morning doesn't go according to plan,..

It took you too long.

You can't find the key.

You find red lights at every intersection...

Don't be mad. Don't panic.

💫 Because maybe...God may be working to protect you in ways you can never see.

If leaving the park turns into a battle every single time, it might not be what you're asking your toddler to do... it might be how you're communicating it. Toddlers don't understand time the way we do, which is why "we're leaving in 5 minutes" often creates frustration instead of cooperation.
