I heard a story that told me my life lesson.

- There once was a farmer who had a horse.
- One day the horse ran away. What bad luck said the towns people. Maybe said the farmer.
- The next day the horse came back with another horse. What good luck said the towns people. Maybe said the farmer.
- The next day the farmers son fell off the horse and broke his leg. What bad luck said the towns people. Maybe said the farmer.
- The next day the army came through the farmers town drafting young men for the war. They looked at the farmers son and considered him unfit to serve. What good luck said the towns people. Maybe said the farmer.

The moral of the story is that you can't label every event as good or bad. Somethings might seem bad but turn out good.

Since then I have been much calmer in bad situations because i tell myself "maybe this is a good thing".
