Changing forward

Sometimes, even when we give our best to the effort, the results are not what we intended. Other times, factors largely out of our control change the landscape in disappointing ways.

Every day the world changes. Some of those changes bring pleasant surprises, others bring unanticipated difficulties.

Luckyly, just as surely as the world changes from day to day, year to year, we have the ability to adapt. Change will always happen, and we will always have the option of making the best of it.

It can be frustrating when something beyond our control swoops down and ruins our plans. Yet we can turn the energy of that frustration in a positive direction.

We might be inclined to try to get even, to pay back an equal amount of damage and disappointment to whomever or whatever has disappointed us. But that will not bring us anything of value.

Instead of getting even, resolve to get even further ahead when the changes come, whatever they may be. See each change as the opportunity it is, and we'll find a way for them all to pull us forward.
