In the midst of daily life many things can go wrong: your car can break down, you can lose your keys, it can start raining on the one day you forget your umbrella. Things can go wrong on a regular basis. But just as often, things can work out amazingly well. Sometimes all you need is a little bit of patience and determination to grasp the perfect opportunity. Whether that means standing up for what you believe in, or simply having a good time, one mustn’t let the bad days and unexpected twists of life overshadow the humor and magic of ordinary experiences. Things will always work out differently than you expect, but perhaps that’s where the best magic in life comes from.
