Is it just me, or does life always seem to work out this way (see details)?

If I spend a bunch of time trying to look nice for photograph, it inevitably comes out very unflattering. Yet one day I take a photo on a whim not expecting anything and it remains my favorite photo of myself to this day.

I spent ages practicing drawing and never feeling satisfied. Now I pick up the pen after months away and produce my favorite work yet.

I found love during a time that I wasn’t looking for it.

I can only conclude that this is evidence that relaxed and easygoing mind will tend to find more success than one that is uptight. I am trying to learn from this.

Anyone else find this to be true? What have been your experiences with this phenomenon?
