After the attacks of September 11, of the Trade center in New York some people shared there experiences of why they where not in the building as they should have been. People were alive for the smallest reasons:
•The director of a company was late because it was his child's first day of kindergarten.
•A woman was delayed because her alarm clock didn't go off on time.
•Someone was late because they got stuck on the highway where there had been an accident.
•Another survivor missed the bus.
•Someone spilled food on themselves and needed time to change.
•One had a car problem, and it wouldn't start.
•Another went back to answer the phone.
•Another had a baby!
•Another couldn't get a taxi.
•But the most impressive story was that of a man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, and before getting to work, he got a blister. He stopped at the pharmacy for a band-aid, and that's why he is alive today.
Now, when I get stuck in traffic; when I miss an elevator, the flight is delayed, I forgot my phone, keys, etc.. and many other things that frustrate me, I think first: "This is the exact place I need to be at this precise moment."
The next time your morning seems crazy, the kids take too long to get dressed, you can't find your car keys, you hit all the red lights... don't get angry or frustrated. YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE... AT THE EXACT TIME. Make the best of your day and be grateful for the small things....
