Winston Churchill once raised his glass and said: “I don’t wish anyone health or wealth—but only luck. For most of the people on the Titanic were healthy and wealthy, but very few were lucky.”
This is thought-provoking. Did you know that a senior official survived the 9/11 attacks simply because he happened to drop his son off at his first school (kindergarten) that day?
Another man survived because it was his turn to get donuts.
A woman survived because her alarm clock didn’t ring.
Another survived because a New Jersey traffic jam delayed them.
Someone missed a bus.
Someone spilled coffee on their clothes, so they had to go home to change.
Someone’s car wouldn’t start.
Someone had to rush home to answer a phone call.
A mother or father was late because their child was taking too long.
One man couldn't catch a taxi.
But the story that touched me most deeply was this:
A man wore new shoes that day. On the way, his foot hurt, so he stopped at a nearby pharmacy and bought a Band-Aid. And that small delay saved his life.
Ever since I heard this, my thinking has changed.
Now, when I get stuck in traffic...
When I miss a lift...
When I forget something and have to turn back...
When my morning doesn't go as planned...
I try to stop and think:
Maybe this delay isn't an obstacle.
Maybe—it's divine timing.
Maybe I'm exactly where I need to be.
So the next time your morning falls apart...
The kids are late, the keys are lost, every signal is red—
Don't stress. Don't get angry.
Maybe...it's good fortune in disguise.
