This week I learned, or remembered, that nothing goes as planned. We have plans and something always happens that disrupts those plans in some way. And that is O.K.
It is okay that things go wrong with our plans. I think that is one of the best ways for us to learn something new. It proves to others that you can adapt and work around problems that come up unexpectedly.
This is something a lot of people could work on, even my humble self needs to be better at adapting to problems. I think everyone can learn how to accept the problems that come up. If everyone understood that their planned out day is not going to go exactly how they planned it, there would be less stress in the world.
I really enjoyed this post and agree that this is something that many of us could work on. While it is important to have a plan and strive to achieve it, I think that you make a good point and would add that we miss opportunities at times because we are so set in the plans we have already made.
ReplyDeleteI think I learn this lesson every single week! There are so many aspects of life that I have no control over. I learned from the mission that Heavenly Father is the ultimate director and guide. Coming back, I thought I had learned my lesson. Then, life happened. So many times I felt as if I had control of my life, but then something would fall out of place. I learned again and again that I really need to turn my life over to my Father because He knows what I need better than anyone.
