“Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck”
— Dalai Lama
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes in life, when we don't get what we hope for, it can actually be a good thing. Imagine you really wanted a certain job, but you didn't get it. You feel disappointed, but later, a better job offer comes your way. If you had gotten the first job, you wouldn't have been free to take the better one. Think about J.K. Rowling, who was turned down by many publishers before Harry Potter became hugely successful. If the first publisher had accepted her, the series might not have had the same global impact. What seems like a setback can lead to opportunity. So, when things don't go as planned, it can be life's way of steering you toward something better. Instead of feeling upset, stay patient and positive, as good things might be just around the corner. This mindset helps you stay resilient and open to new opportunities.
