Our culture has become efficient at planning out our lives, sometimes to the finest detail. People who don’t have five and ten-year plans are considered irresponsible.
So when plans change for reasons out of our control, we fall harder. We become less flexible, and less willing to accept things that require us to deviate from our Excel spreadsheets. But whomever said,
The only constant is change
was pretty smart.
Let’s take today to embrace what we don’t control and adapt as necessary. When plans fall apart, this doesn’t mean the world is ending, it means there is opportunity for something else. The doors are wide open. You just have to be willing to walk through them.
