I was thinking today about how the universe has been throwing you a few curve balls lately.
I recall a few times where I was in a really awkward, impossible, exasperating situation and I didn't handle it well. Knowing that it was likely to come up again, I put a lot of effort into figuring out how I wanted to respond. My thoughts evolved as I dug into it. Once I really figured out what I needed to and was confident that I could respond properly, the universe took the problem away. (One example was a guy basically having a tantrum in a group I was leading. Once I figured out how to respond (a few weeks later), but before I had a chance to, he left the group for completely unrelated reasons.)
I figure the universe wants us to learn something and isn't going to relent until we show due diligence on our piece. I may be stubborn, but the universe has overwhelming firepower.
