For all that we can do to build predictability and structure and schedule into our journey there are moments, and there could be many of them, when we are surprised by what is required or necessary to stay on track. And for the most part there is a risk that we shrug off the unexpected and our lack of readiness to “life happens”. While this is true and can be a way to explain why things didn’t go exactly as planned, it does not have to be that way. There is way more that we can do than just allow ourselves acceptance as the end of the story. We can live our life prepared; we can build resiliency into how we address issues, we can be flexible and accommodating, and we can have our skills honed and practiced so that when they are called into action we are ready to go. We do have a lot of power over our situation so let’s maximize and use it to the best outcome possible.
