There Is Always A Plan B!

Growing up, we always had this idea that we must follow a plan — an idea of how our lives will go and what we need to do to achieve our goals.

A practical example of this is going to school, get to college, graduate with a degree, find a well-paying job, get married, have children, and retire — the traditional plan.

For some of us, life turns out to have made a few other plans. So we have to give up on our initial plan altogether. The realization can feel devastating and feel like there is no point anymore wondering how things could have turned out.

Despite what has happened, do not neglect your plan B. The first step involves fully acknowledging that we are never cursed for having to make a plan B. The first plan doesn't work out all the time. No one gets through life with everything going according to plan. It doesn't only happen to you; it happens to all of us.

Life will give you challenges; you have to find ways to overcome them and look for the silver lining.

When things don't go our way the first time, this will push us even harder to get what we desire.

We have the capacity to act and to adapt when things do not go according to plan. One door may close, but there will be plenty of more opportunities opening up for you only if you take notice of them.

It doesn't matter where you start; it matters where you finish. – Gary Vaynerchuck
