How everything changes when you stop a second

I'm sure it has happened with you when, you're late for work/study and everything just happens to slow you down.

The train? Late.

The bus? Late.

You? Obviously, you're the one responsible. 

We feel everything's wasting our precious moments and are out to get us. But if we just pause for a bit from the chaotic loop in our minds, it dawns upon us that we're the ones rushing. Nobody is our enemy and we're our own enemy in the end. 

This might also make us feel that our luck is like rotten bananas, and it always happens to us and as if we're battling the world with no armour on.

And cause you're stuck in this black hole of negative emotions, you might miss that everything is actually working out. It's as if God's saying, Oh you got up late, don't worry I'll help you. 

And because we're in this rush and adrenaline spiking through us, we think that the bus and train and whatever isn't on time. When in reality, it actually came pretty early than always. 

The same goes for the opposite. When we're not under pressure, our minds work autopilot, and that's the reason we don't realize that everything's going smoothly. Cause we're used to this.
