Be COOL (Part 2)

Have you ever noticed that life is just not fair, or is it just me? Chances are today, something will happen to you that just isn't right. What are you going to do about it? My suggestion, and my writing over the next four days will be about how to be "cool' when things are not the way we want them.

O- Be OPEN to ideas. When things go wrong, it could be God just reshuffling the cards of the universe. Maybe it's someone else's turn to go first. If you will, just entertain the thought that although you deserved to be first, win the prize, get the promotion, not to be cut off--for whatever reason the powers of the universe must have a greater purpose.

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy". Martin Luther King Jr.

Staying open to other ideas outside of just your own needs and comfort helps sustain the calm, allowing you to feel less like you must do something and thinking of what you should do.
