Blessing In Disguise

We've all heard the term "Blessing In Disguise". What does it mean? Blessing in disguise means misfortune turned into success. At first glance, you don't see the good in a bad situation but as time passes, you realize it was a blessing that loss happened when it did because it could've been detrimental to your overall well-being. Some losses are actually blessings. When things go wrong, our first instinct is to fix the problem and be on our merry way. Why wouldn't we want things to be smooth-sailing? After all, that's the ideal world for us (as it should be). Unfortunately, life doesn't work that way. When we experience a loss, it's normal to feel sad, angry, hurt, denial,etc. because people have a hard time accepting loss. Some people will do everything in their power to regain that loss, not realizing that God takes something away to prepare you for something better. Yes, it hurts at first because it meant so much but if a better opportunity comes along, I would embrace the better and forget the previous. From a relationship aspect, a man & woman get together with the intent of being married. Things are going good at first but rough times come. All hell breaks loose in the relationship and while the couple do everything possible to make the relationship work; something happens to break them up. Depending on the strength of the couple's love, they may go one more round or they cut their losses. If they go one more round, things will get worse to a point where they call it quits for good. Yes, the man and woman will miss each other but once they truly find Mr. &/or Mrs. Right, they realize it was a blessing the previous relationship failed because each person found somebody that truly makes them happy. People shouldn't be so quick to write off misfortune without taking time to realize that better is around the corner. It won't seem like it at first but when things turn around for the better, hopefully some people will realize that their success was wrapped in misfortune.

  1. I've avoided so much heartache because certain people left me alone. I was hurt but I realized they did me the biggest favor. I spent quite a bit of time wondering what I did and what not but it was a blessing. Sometimes you realize things just aren't going to work. You are sad that its over but glad that it didn't progress to where your hurt would be greater.

  2. Not everyone is right to be in your life. Some people are seasonal, others are lifelong. The key is to figure out who belongs in what category and go from there. We should want the best people in our corner and like sports, if we have to make some cuts to keep our team strong, so be it. Doesn't mean you wish ill against them. You can't have anybody dragging you down.
