Some people are just good at things

There are some people in life who seem to get all the breaks, know the right people, aspire to the right dreams. There are just some people that seem to have it all - and do it right.

Why is it that some people are able to achieve everything they set out achieve while others can't seem to do that? 

Why do some people dwell on things that are not within their control or are in the past while others seem indestructible?

Yeah, this started a bit like a this is what I believe segment. I believe that people are presented with issues, they are presented with different people and situations in their life. Some are happy. Those ones are easy to take. And then there are those that are difficult. 

So I started wondering why is it that some people are able to let nearly everything roll off their back with an assuredness that overall life is good. That there are better things on the way for them. That the items that would nearly break someone else - they are able to handle with relative ease. 

I recently met a friend who had a seizure about 9 weeks ago. While by all outward appearances he has nearly healed. He has the marks of a scar on his forehead. He has been forced to look for a new job. He has said that he wished he would have died on that day. I don't feel sorry for him. I don't feel the least bit of anything in the way of being downtrodden. I wish I could explain how I see it...

Here is how I would see it. The seizure while difficult was something that happened. No reason to dwell there - except for the lesson it may be teaching you. By having the seizure you had to slow down your fast paced life. You had to see life differently. You had to stop what was not right. Yes, looking for a new job is never fun nor easy. But this means that there is greater success for you out there. That you were not doing the right think (seriously, what kind of company lets someone go because they have had a seizure?!?!) But may be this just means you need to fight for something else. That you are stronger than you give yourself credit for. That you had to get to one place to get to another. 

So no, I just get frustrated that I can not explain that this is a good thing for you. That you need to stop dwelling in it but rather move on from it.
