When the plan goes awry

We put a lot of effort into all elements of our journey.  Preparation, training, equipment, support and so much more and then we go out there and execute.  And when all leading up to an event is working exactly as planned, we start the event of the process with very high expectations.  We tell ourselves “of course”, all will follow suit.  Well, as we all know there are times when this just does not happen.  It can be for reasons seen or unknown but there is a moment when things start to unravel, and the plan goes awry.  In the moment it never feels good or right but when we get a moment of reflection, we realize that this is just one step along the journey, a moment in time and it is not defining nor tragic.  What matters is that we lean on our support system, and we get ourselves back to our normal flow and we live to fight another day.  It is all part of the journey; indeed, it is.
