I suppose that may be true in some aspect, but I think there’s always a way to look at how you could have things better. For example, your bullet “You pick the slowest line at the grocery store” then you could have said look ahead next time to see how many items the customers ahead of you are holding. Or if the cashier was too slow. I’ve made this mistake plenty of times – and learned from it.

I agree – sometimes an event is just an event and it doesn’t offer a lesson. I think the lesson is to understand that everyday events can be extraordinary – to you. For you and me, a Trail Blazers and a Celtics fan, there was nothing special about the NBA finals. But being in the moment each day and being able to see beyond the ordinary is when you find the right candidate that you “stumble” upon. Perhaps it isn’t stumbling – but being conscious enough to spot what is special about that particular moment and that particular day – even if to many others it seems perfectly ordinary.

I’ve got to offer one lesson from the finals. The East really is a weaker conference.

I think we’re programmed to believe that everything has a deeper meaning, if for no other reason but to deal with the fact that most things in life just ARE. Also, how often do we attach that pseudo-meaning to account for a personal failure, or to glorify a success?
