It never fails. Any time I am taking a long trip in the car, at some point I get stuck behind someone who forgets that the speed limit is actually 10 miles over the speed that they are going. “Why does this always happen to me??” is almost always the first thing out of my mouth.

It always feels like I just happen to pick the wrong lane, or let the wrong person over. I noticed something this morning though. After switching lanes during my drive to work this morning, I actually picked a good one. I actually picked a lane where I wasn’t behind the slowest person on the road.

After pondering my good luck, it made me think a little deeper. How many other times had I picked the right lane.

Yes, deciding what lane to drive on is trivial, and yes, it might not be the greatest metaphor in the world, but it still spoke to me. How many times has something good happened or how many times have I actually made a good decision and not noticed? When the good things go unnoticed, yes, bad things do always happen to you.
