A Shift In Perception

“Teacher, I need your help!” exclaimed the student as he ran up to the temple steps

“Do you have a situation or problem that happened in a manner that you disagreed with in this moment?” calmy replied the teacher

“Yes, I don’t know what to do?” feared the student

“Has what you feared happened?” he stated looking away from the student

“Well, no, I guess not” he deeply thought

“Is there still time to resolve the issue?” retorted the teacher

“I suppose” said the student as he started to realize

“Then correct the situation and proceed where you left off. It is the end, that is to say, the intention of such interactions, that you are truly after, correct?” he questioned the student

“Yes, I do” acknowledged the student
“Then never mind the happenings in between, they’re there to help correct your actions to achieve the person whom you need to be to achieve the intention, there will be happenings no matter what occurs. If it wasn’t now, then it would be some other time. A shift in perspective is an absence of an inconsequential problem, it ceases to exist, appreciate the moment”

A quote that hits me hard was from a dying man who stated, “I wish I wouldn’t have worried so much about things, 99 percent of the things I worried about never happened”. When you look at an isolated event you fail to see the connections from everything else this is tied to. Sometimes you can understand the positive from that event, while other times it takes some distance from the event to see what it had done for you. Most everything you will have time to resolve the issue, stop giving up before you even give it an attempt.
