A Flat Tire on My Day Off. Lucky Me! 😂

You can't control everything, but you can control how you respond.

You can't control everything. But you can control your response.

What a perfect Sunday! My day off. And I haven’t worked on a Sunday for two months now!

Started the day with some morning exercises. Then headed to Amsterdam to pick up my grandmother’s mirror from my old apartment.

Just a relaxed Sunday. A few things to do around the house. Nothing special.

Well, that was the plan 😂

Ten minutes into the drive. Flat tire!

I pulled into a gas station and found a pretty big screw in my tire.

Luckily, modern car tires are incredibly strong. Even with a screw in them, they don’t necessarily go completely flat.

And what amazing service from Interpolis!

I called. Thirty minutes later, roadside assistance arrived. Twenty minutes after that, everything was fixed.

Less than an hour of delay. Not bad at all!

And how cool is the technology behind tire repairs? They basically fill the hole with rubber and glue. Looks easier than fixing a bicycle tire! 🤣

I actually enjoyed watching the whole process.

And luckily, it happened on my day off. No missed meetings. No stress.

Always look on the bright side!

Because in business, things rarely go exactly as planned either.

Unexpected problems. Delays. Things going wrong.

You can’t control everything that happens. But you can control how you react.

Stay positive. Find a solution. And go with the flow.

Happy Sunday, everyone! ☀️

Show me the magic in real life 🪄
