When things don't go as planned stop and ask yourself if the the bumps along the way have been a good thing or bad thing. Surprisingly, the answer is often that it is a good thing. How many people at the age of 40 find themselves in the position that they had expected themselves to be at that age when they were predicting their futures at high school graduation? I am guessing very few. But is that a bad thing?
The best laid plans for a night alone with your spouse can come crashing down when a child falls ill. Plans to get to work on time and have a productive day can end with a dead car battery. Your plans to squeeze in one last errand may fall victim to a traffic jam. These are just the small things. Sometimes pregnancies are a unplanned surprise. What happens if your plans to run in the New York Marathon are ended because your legs are amputated? Do you just give up or do you look into the possibility of artificial legs and wheel chair races. There are many ways to approach a challenge. Will you end up stronger after the challenge?
It is all about fate. They say what does not kill you will make you stronger. Some up these challenges will send us on a path so very different then what we planned but in the end we are sometimes better because of it.
There are people that are reading this blog that are facing challenges of their own. Please feel free to share your inspirational story by responding below. Perhaps someone will find strength in reading your story.
