This is from Spark People:
Does change stress you out? Do you feel anxious not knowing what is around the corner in life? It is unreasonable to expect the world to adapt for you; rather you must change to fit the world. Life is without a doubt, unpredictable. While it is natural to desire stability and consistency, life simply doesn't work that way all of the time. People pass away, financial situations change, relationships end--all without our consultation! The best solution is to develop a sense of humor and flexibility. Continue to set long-term goals, but keep your options and means for achieving those goals adaptable, just in case life decides to throw a wrench in your plans.
I think this is excellent - when our normal routines are shifted by, say, catering a wedding (which I did this weekend and was although it was fun, was also rather exhausting), by trips to Brazil, by house guests, we just need to develop a sense of humor, flexibility, and ask ourselves, "What can I do in this situation to move closer to my goal?"
Here's to remembering to be flexible with how we reach our goals when life throws us a curve-ball.
