Everything's Gonna Be Alright

I am convinced since traveling, that everything will work out for the best possible scenario. I believed I was optimistic before traveling, and some people had mentioned it here or there; however, since traveling, I am an absolute optimist. I am 100% convinced that things will work out in every possible way.

Today while taking a train from Amsterdam to Munich, I got to the train station with an hour before the train I was going to take was due to depart - I just needed to get a seat reservation which usually takes me about 5 minutes, maxium - with a non-English speaking attendant. However, today I encountered my first queue at a ticket stand, and was nervously watching the clock and the queue list. I told myself that at 12:15 I would just leave and get on the train and risk not having a seat for an 8 hour train trip. At 12:14 my number was called, and I got my reservation for the first half of the trip, and made my train.

My connection window was only 25 minutes in Frankfurt, between trains. Not a big issue in most cases, but our train had technical issues and left 10 minutes late. Then we were notified we were going slower because there was a freight train in front of us on the tracks. Then it began snowing and there were high winds and we went slower. We were informed during all this some trains were being delayed and some connections canceled. My connection to Munich departed at 7:54pm. I arrived in Munich at 7:59pm. I figured that it would work out, and wasn't worried. Upon walking to the platform my train was due to depart from, I saw that that train had been delayed as well, and it arrived 10 minutes later.

With all the train cancellations, there were heaps more people waiting to board. Not everyone was going to get a seat, it was going to require lots of luck and some near perfect location waiting on the platform, hoping the train doors opened directly in front of me, otherwise I had no shot at a seat - especially with a huge backpack getting in the way! The train pulls up and a door opens directly in front of me. There are mostly reserved seats inside, so I just sit in one that was reserved, and am expecting to be bumped from it any moment. 4 hours later, not having been asked to move, we arrived in Munich.

Sure, they are some small things, but they all went right, and everything worked out. Just one of innummerable times this has occurred. I am absolutely convinced that things will always work out for the best. 100% of the time. I even look back at prior events before my travels and know that they were for the best now too.

I listened to Bob Marley's song, Everything's Gonna Be Alright, just after realizing all of this.
