Every bad situation I have faced or any kind of struggle has resulted in full-blown panic. My first thoughts have always been the absolute worst; there are never any positive outcomes running through my mind when faced with bad situations. Usually, these bad situations were a result of me wanting and trying to get something I did not need. I would make all of these plans based around whatever it was I was wanting and when they did not work out I would be confused.

All of my struggles this year have given me a new mindset. Through realizing that I am not in control and remembering who is the ultimate controller, I have realized that bad situations are a blessing in disguise and learning experiences; they are molding me, growing me, and strengthening me. It is funny to look back and see the end result of something that did not work out the way I wanted or something that ended badly. It is crazy to even think about how different things would have ended up if the things I wanted had worked out.

I'm blessed to be who I am now due to the fact that everything worked out the way it did; I know I would not be who I am today if everything played out differently. Next time you begin to freak out in the midst of a messy situation or a hard time, remind yourself that there is a greater reason it is happening, You are growing and molding into a better person than the one you are now. The bad situations are not worthy of us which is why they always result in something greater.

For those of you who have yet to see that end result, it is coming, just wait. When you finally see the end result, everything becomes worth it and it all makes sense.
