Sticky situations

I have always been a magnet for sticky situations (i.e. typically embarrassing moments that you heard of or read about but can't imagine that situations like these actually do happen to real people). Yes - that was me (and hopefully that ended as of yesterday). As of this moment, I am changing that stigma from inside out - from this day, I will be a magnet for everything good, wonderful, and pleasant that is to come into my life.

A prime example of an inopportune situation was when my hair caught on fire at the office Christmas party at a job where I just started. Lucky for me, a co-worker's spouse was quick to put the fire out before major damage took place. I remained calm throughout the entire ordeal and was able to laugh off the situation - in order words, I prefer to think that I handled the situation with grace. Through my experience of having faced numerous inconvenient situations, I learn that it is not what happened that matters, it is how I handle these inconveniences that make me who I am - someone who hopefully rise above the situation and be an inspiration to others. Of course, having supportive family and friends always help...

Yesterday I was presented with the stickiest of all sticky situations - took me the whole evening (lucky for me with good company of my dear cousin M and wise friend Y) and a night's sleep to wrap my head around it (which shouldn't have been required - since it is a simple choice - a clear and obvious one). Lucky for me, I came to clear sense and am walking away from a potentially disastrous situation. Good always prevails over evil :)
