Try or Cry

Beautiful day! First thing that strike me on days like this, is to go for a swim,  my love for swimming stems from my younger days of asthma attacks, then my parents figure it will be best if I picked up swimming :S pretty risky if you ask me.

So with a hop in my stride, I went to the pool, strip down to my trunks, wash myself by the poolside shower, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY! You know how it feels to have the sun beating lightly on your back and you're having a cool shower, ready to jump into the pool. Ok, so this happened, me ready for my swim, I stretched my goggles.......and......."SNAP". Sh*t.

There goes my beautiful day :( so could this be it? I came here all the way for a nice shower by the pool and that's it? I cannot accept my fate. What a twist of event. Things didn't go my way, but did I have to go home? They must have some goggles lying around somewhere since it is freakin a pool.

So I got out of the pool and approached the lifeguard post, "excuse me, (swinging my broken goggles), sorry, if you might have...", "Here you go", sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, and he just whipped me a pair so swiftly like he already prepared for my arrival.

I can't help thinking about the POWER of TRYing, when things don't go your way and you seek a solution. I could have gone home crying, blaming my ill fate. Don't blame your fate, there is nothing you can do about it, it is how you can react accordingly. A friend's dad told us this when we were pondering over if we should call a friend out, "If you never try, you will never know", the lifeguard could have said sorry they are out of extra goggles, but if I never tried, I would never know; my chances for a swim would have been ZERO, when I asked, I changed the probability to 50%. That's a huge number jump in statistics if you ask me.Haha!

Wise words from my best friend,

Love your fate, change your attitude, you will be able to achieve greatness. That is my believe, if you will believe in it too.
