About this Quote

This quote by Jean Kerr speaks with the sensation of helplessness that can come when one remains in an unforeseen and unmanageable situation. The image of having a complete cup of coffee in one's hand and then starting to sneeze is a vibrant one that communicates the concept of being in a situation where one has no control over the outcome. The sensation of vulnerability is one that is typically experienced in life, and this quote works as a tip of that. It is a reminder that sometimes, no matter just how much we plan and prepare, we can still find ourselves in scenarios that run out our control. In those minutes, all we can do is take a deep breath and hope for the best.
