Everything goes wrong 3 times before it goes right.
I heard this quote from a guy I follow on Instagram. This sentence made me reflective and reminded me of an Arabic proverb that says:
'' Everything that happens once may never happen again, but everything that happens twice will certainly happen a third time.''
There is a certain magic in the number 3. It doesn't take much thinking to think of the trinities of various religions of which there are the 3 main gods, usually, it is the Father, the Son, and a female representation that we can call of Mother.
I once heard from a person whom I consider to be wise that 3 is the number of creations. Regardless of what you create, in 3 is contained the magic of creation and manifestation.
So when I heard that everything goes wrong 3 times before it goes right, I thought there's something right about it. 3 tries is something that teaches us, after 3 mistakes we will certainly be smarter the fourth time we try something.
After 3 disappointments, we will hardly suffer a fourth with the same person, and even if we suffer, it will certainly not be the same way as before, we will certainly be wiser and more prepared.
But the most interesting conclusion I've come to from these reflections today is that I don't care if something goes wrong 3 times before it goes right, I just want it to go right. And I felt a certain hope arise about the things that have gone wrong 3 times so far… Hope arose to keep trying because maybe the fourth time I'll have what I want?
