Does this phrase describe how you view your life?\u00a0 If it does, you are living under the influence of Murphy\u2019s Law.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Encouragement
Encouragement to apply Murphy’s Law to your life in a positive way on near a river.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Most people naturally interpret Murphy\u2019s Law as a pessimistic way to think about life, but they could not be further from the truth.<\/p>\n

How was Murphy’s Law coined?<\/h4>\n

Air Force Captain Edward A. Murphy coined this phrase at Edwards Air Force Base in 1949.\u00a0 Murphy was in charge of Air Force Project MX981. To minimize challenges in his project, he developed his Law to cause people to think ahead and prepare contingency plans. .<\/p>\n

What does Murphy’s Law really mean?<\/h4>\n

What did he mean by “Murphy’s Law”? If things can go right, you should do your best to make that happen.<\/p>\n

He based his law on his expectation that the men working with him would do their best to make everything work out right.<\/p>\n

Murphy\u2019s Law is about life, and the importance of thinking about the future. It is also about shifting perspectives regarding \u201cnegative\u201d circumstances that life throws at us.<\/p>\n

If you live under the influence of Murphy\u2019s Law, you recognize that within every problem exists seeds of opportunity. Cultivating these seeds will enable them to grow into positive outcomes every time you approach a challenge.<\/p>\n

Murphy’s Law and your own life…<\/h4>\n

I have had many many many challenges in my life.\u00a0 My husband says that if I wrote an autobiography, librarians would shelve it in the fiction section. No one would believe that a person could overcome so many challenges and still be a loving, positive person.\u00a0 \u00a0Throughout my life, I have adhered to Murphy’s Law.<\/p>\n

Hopefully you now know that Murphy\u2019s Law is about you, how you approach your life, and how you turn the lemons in your life into lemonade.<\/p>\n
