Now before I begin, let me go ahead and let you in on a little secret. This topic isn’t all for you, but let’s just say it’s a “self-inflicted reality check” for my own self! You see, we are in this together 🙂
It’s funny how much time we spend planning who we want to be, where we want to be, what goals we want to achieve and scheming exactly how we plan to achieve them. We know exactly how much money we will make, how we will spend that money, what vacations we will take, and in my case, what we will post on our blogs each day. We spend more time plotting and planning what we think are the most important details of our lives, but we very often forget about those unexpected and unforeseen life changes that seem to present themselves at the “wrong” times. Unfortunately (or fortunately) for us, these unexpected and uncomfortable changes don’t pick and choose whose life plans they will invade, but it invades each and every one of us at some point!
The great thing about these changes is that if we learn to embrace them, find a way to incorporate these changes into our “plan”, and refocus on what we have set out to do, they won’t seem so bad after all! Remember, life happens for a reason. This means that each and every thing that happens in this life happens to make us better individuals and more importantly to shake us to the next level. If we could foresee these “unplanned” moments, it would never be the “right time.” So because we don’t have the luxury of knowing what or when these things will occur, we must learn to see these inconvenient life changes as blessings and don’t let them deter us away from our “plans.” I once heard someone say, “It’s okay to take a break, but don’t stop!”
It is during times of uncertainty and inconvenience that we find our greatest treasures. We look at life from a whole new perspective which leads to new ideas, a refreshed mind and a new outlook on this thing we call “life.”
