Back in the 90's Emmitt Smith reached out to Michael Jordan to learn about business from him. Mike said no problem and set a meeting place.  After they met, Emmitt asked, "How come we don't have meetings like this more often to learn and do business together?"  Mike - "What did you have to do to get this meeting?"  Emmitt - "I had to call you to ask you for the information."  Mike - "Exactly. If you had not done that, we would not be sitting down talking about business."  "You were humble enough to ask, meaning you were willing to learn. I cannot teach someone who is not willing to learn. You have to have a fertile mind before seeds can be planted, or you will never learn." As the saying goes, "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.”

Whatever the situation is you are going through, always remember you are not the first person going through such situation and you won’t be the last. There’s nothing happening now that hasn’t happened before, and there’s no problem without a solution. If it happened in a strange way and looks too difficult to solve then it’s not yours to solve and not yours to worry about. You should never worry over what you do not have control of. Worrying will only cause you pain that will leave you unprepared for your normal life. A man with life is a man with hope, worry less for worrying doesn’t solve a problem rather it cause you pain.
