You Never Know Where The Good Stuff Hides

Mychal Mitchell was sitting at the Termini train station in Rome, her backpack at her feet, when a young boy ran by and snatched it. Her friend chased the boy (to no avail) and she lost her camera, film from the trip, her Walkman, money, plane tickets, passport, and her beloved journal. For the story of how it set her life on a whole new trajectory, and led her to a career that she hadn’t forseen, [click here]. To see the video, [click here].

The major hassle of losing your ID and money, can really tick you off. But Mychal’s story  reminds us to stay open to possibilities.

 I have a poor sense of direction and it is easy for me to get lost without a GPS. So when I’m driving and miss a turn or an exit, I assume that there’s something else waiting for me on the journey. Perhaps it’s a better parking place, a new restaurant that I’d have never noticed if I’d taken my usual route, or maybe I stayed in my car long enough to hear something on the radio I would have otherwise missed.

I love it when I’m aware enough to look at each unexpected change in my life’s journey as the beginning of a new adventure. When I resist the change, I tend to suffer. When I stay open and curious, it’s a lot more fun. Even the big losses have their silver lining. Be patient. Stay open.
