Not always do we have the foresight to anticipate future events. Often we feel powerless or helpless in situations. Even the most confident individual can experience the down turn of a high streak. To say the least, bad things happen to even the most positive of folk, no matter how much preparation we have. The down side is, as I've stated in prior blogs, necessary in our dualistic world. If you are finding there to be a gloomy feeling in the pit of your stomach after reading that, fear not, down sides, negativity, and all else associated with the unwanted, are actually a beneficial thing or event. Not only is it required for our inner growth or enlightenment, but often we cannot see what that downturn will bring. Much like the hurricane that necessarily releases pent up heat in the atmosphere, a bad event or situation can be the golden egg from an ugly duck.

In short, sometimes waiting it out is the best solution. After all, patience is truly a virtue.
