"Not everything is supposed to be a lesson. Sometimes... sometimes you just fail"

I was watching 'The Office' (#1 sitcom and no you can't change my mind) yesterday and came across this simple and meaningful quote. As humans, you and me both love to question whatever happens to us. 

Why did I fail the interview?

Why did she reject me?

Most of the times there's a lesson behind it. What's the saying? "You reap what you sow". 

Like you bombed the interview because you weren't prepared. 

Or maybe she rejected you because you had anger issues. 

But honestly, sometimes things turn out the way they do, simply because... life.

It's okay if you prepared absolutely well but still failed the interview. Maybe the interviewer had a bad day and took it out on you. 

Maybe the girl rejected you simply because she didn't love you anymore.

I get how we all want to be better at what we do. That's how the self help industry keeps itself running. 

But just remember sometimes *** just happens for no reason. And you just gotta sir back and ride it out, cause that's how life is. 

Thanks and peace,

A cheeky lazy monkey.

“Great points"!
What helps me sometimes is thinking, ‘How do I know what was supposed to happen?’

We all have times in our lives where things turned out better for us than what we originally wanted to happen.

I have The Office as my #2 all-time comedy, only behind Seinfeld at #1, lol.”

Sometimes such actions have some funny twists, for example several years ago I was convinced I had failed at the job interview but... a few days later my phone rang and... I worked there three years and still keeping my farewell gift - a book signed by all co-workers.

More recently I've had a job interview, but with mixed feelings if I really wanted to work again in this branch, about my future boss avoiding setting any details and about a bad atmosphere among my possible co-workers, so... Going back from there I've just come and asked for an unplanned interview somewhere else and... in a week I was given the latter job 😊 

Coming to relationships, my female colleague used to tell "if you cannot find someone who's right for you, get ready, because something really big is coming at you" 😆 I doubt if that really works now, but I smile or laugh every time I remember these prophecies.
