The silver lining in the cloud

I have a tendency to FREAK OUT anytime something happens that I have no control over. This may come to a shock to some people. Often I am viewed as a very calm, collective person who can deal well with change. Other people view me as an airhead who is oblivious to the world around her. The truth is I also have a "freak out" tendency. People who are very, very close to me already know this. They have seen me go into this mode. When something happens that is out of my control I have a hard time adapting. I ask question after question and I am quite certain things will not work out ok. 

My life history has proven time and time again that things will work out, yet I still have a firm belief it will not.  I know this doesn't make a lot of sense but I do not think I am alone in this mindset. While I am going through the process I fight it the entire time. I know that I am only fighting against myself and the process called life, yet I fight. 

In the end things do work out; yes things are different but then again they are not worse... just different.  I need to remember that different does not mean bad.  There's always a silver lining in the cloud, I just need to work on remembering that while I am going through the process.  I am going to challenge myself to start recognizing the silver lining during the process instead of after the fact.  I challenge you do to the same.

Thank you, to my good friend that reminded me of this recently.
