This
has been an eventful year with lots of highs and lows. I've learned
lessons, managed challenges, and tried to stay flexible.
It
seems to me that the best way to handle life is to roll with its
rhythms. Things happen that aren't in our plans. Sometimes the
changes are nice surprises; other times they aren't. No matter which
way, you have the choice to resist or adjust, panic or stay calm.
How you respond is up to you.
Here
are three tips that might help:
Don't
ask questions you don't want the answer to. Being informed is
helpful only up to a point. If you're not going to do anything with
the information, why ask for it?
You
can't fix or figure out crazy. Not going to happen. It's a
waste of your time, energy, and brain cells to even try.
Let
it be. Sometimes it's better
to step back and wait. Life might make the right decision for
you. Things don't always need to be micro-managed. They work out on
their own without your input.
“You
can't plan life. Because no
matter how perfect your plan is, life has a way to rearrange it.” -
