If you aren't where you are supposed to be, it won’t work!

Today I was sitting in my office working on some things. I put my hands down on the keyboard as I have done millions of times.(with no exaggeration)
I wasn’t paying attention and I set my left hand with my pinky starting on the “s” instead of the “a”. I began to type and when I saw what was on the screen, I was like, “UGH! HELLO!”
“Get where you are supposed to be and it will work,” I told myself.
I got to thinking…
Isn’t that how life can be? We can be going on about life doing and doing, trying and trying, working and working, yet it just doesn’t seem to work. I think back to my life and can’t help but shake my head and laugh at how hard I was trying to get my words to come out on the screen and not realizing I was in the wrong place. No matter how hard I hit that key with my left pinky, it was STILL going to type an “s” and not an “a”. All I needed to do was quit looking at the screen or looking at what I want, gonna do, gotta do, etc and look down to where I was at and realize I was in the wrong place. If I had made that small adjustment of shifting just a bit, it would have worked.
A lot of times, I think we get so familiar with something, some place, some one and we just assume we are where we are supposed to be. It’s important to look down, make sure are feet, our life is where it is supposed to be so it can all work out.
Just a thought…
Happy Wednesday, folks!
