I won't call them "incidents," but "experiences." And you're absolutely right! The unexpected happens all the time. I will tell you right now that the best opportunities and learning experiences I've had, is when things turned negative, or I "lost my way," if you will. For example, I was so excited about the possibility of getting a position at my Ivy Tech Campus (which I graduated from earlier this year with my A.S. in Psychology) while attending school at Indiana State University (where I am pursuing my B.S. in Psychology). Things are currently going in a negative direction, and I ultimately may not be able to gain the position. While it does hurt me, it's actually helping me, because it's changing my mindset. I'm busier than I thought I would be, so having a job at my Campus (which would be 2 days a week for 3 hours, not counting travel time and preparation time) really cuts into my study time, and my assignments are getting more detailed and challenging, that they're requiring a lot of time and attention from me-something I would not have seen had it not been for things going on a downward path. Had I ultimately gotten the position (especially at an earlier time), I would have had so much to do and not enough time to do it. So, I would say that this "closed door," or at least "ajar door" experience (or incident; I guess I'll use that. Haha!) changed my life because it changed my opinion about my life, in terms of where I am, where I'm trying to go, and my personal skills and abilities for my present and future. It's moments like that where I feel like I've gotten knocked down for my own good. It's helped me "find" myself (from Brad Paisley's "Find Yourself" from the movie "Cars"). I apologize if this is too long to read (Haha!), but those are just my thoughts. Honestly, I've grown more from the things that diverted me than the things that stayed the same. It's just like in college: I've learned more from my F's and D's than my A's and B's. 🌎
