Missed Your Train?

Those poor, out of breath humans racing to the platform to catch my train before it leaves the station, will they make it in time? If they don’t, I tell myself that all is not lost. There’s always another train to catch.

There’s always another train to catch. Isn’t that a beautiful thought? When things don’t go as planned.... there’s always a Plan B. A Plan C. A Plan D. Missed Train #1? There’s Train #2. Missed Train #2? Never fear, Train #3 is on its way! It’s comforting to know that when things don’t work out, there’s more than one way to arrive at the desired end destination. Sure, the trip may last longer than anticipated. Take an unexpected detour. You will be late. But you’ll get there soon enough. You’ll get there soon enough...

No one wants to hear those words during their early morning commute to work. But I think they’re important to mention. Missing your train, while a nuisance, is not the end of the world - you’ll get to work eventually. Don’t let a missed train ruin your day!
