When things go wrong

img_8859

There are times in life when things do not go according to plan, in fact, they can go completely wrong and you are faced with some real challenges.

Last minute hiccups to plans can seem like suddenly the end of the world and you can feel like there are no options.

More often, though, they are an opportunity and the process of having to search for alternatives or hatch a new plan can actually be rewarding, create new contacts and fresh thinking. If things always run smoothly, there is no driver for change, new thinking or adaptability. It is, in fact, dull.

Now I am not suggesting that you deliberately throw a spanner in your own works, but to have challenges is vital for continued evolution and growth.

Out of the ‘wreckage’ often comes amazing new things.

It is all question of perspective and mindset. Be happy that things go wrong occasionally, it leads to making things better.

Unexpected destinations

Sure it is good to have a plan, say from A to B. But beware the peddlers of certainty, life happens at the edge of the circle where risk and uncertainty are.

The best things in life can not be found on a pre-planned straight line from one point to another.

Yes, we need to have a vision of where we want to go. Too rigid a plan can stifle the real magic of life.

What we need is something to act as the catalyst to start

Then the riskier, more exciting route, is to just let things unfold and to go with it. If you go the wrong way, you can always take another route.

Just keep creating, trying, testing, exploring, being curious and going down the unknown paths.

Go wandering and let the magic unfold, discover life’s wonderful and unexpected destinations.
