There are times in our lives when everything seems to be going well until, something happens that derails us, catches us off guard and plunges us into an abyss of uncertainty.
Life isn’t always sunny. Sometimes it’s stormy and murky. It’s hard to see ourselves through a positive lens when we’re going through a storm.
When we face adversity our human tendency is to react and resist. But so often it’s not the challenges that are the problem, but our expectations about the situation.
If you are dealing with more than your share of frustration and disappointment, it may be worth checking your focus.
So often we only see the gaps, where reality isn’t meeting our expectations. Where the picture in our head of how things should be, prevent us from
embracing the opportunities which may be coming our way.
But often when life changes, we have more choices than we realise. They might not be the choices we want or were expecting, but there are always choices.
Everyone has bad days, even if they don’t always talk about them. You are allowed to be disappointed when things don’t work out as you expected. And you may not be ready to see the opportunity straight away.
But promise yourself that you won’t get stuck in the abyss. Why? Because you are strong enough to refocus, consider your options and make a plan to put you back in charge of your life.
