Course correction

Sometimes life interferes with your best efforts. Things were going so well until you hit a wall. Often, the hardest thing to do is to back up and regroup.

Fear makes a mountain from a small mound of dirt. Giving in to it will only make matters worse. Remain calm, and a solution will present itself.

Decisions may be required, and then action taken. A slight adjustment can make all the difference. It is our course not the map that needs correcting.

Ignoring problems gives them time to grow. It does not take long for everything to get out of hand. If we drop the ball, someone else will pick it up.

We do not get to choose what the outcome will be. However, what we do will affect it for good or for ill. Be sure not to fail in your one contribution.

When a plan fails, leave it where it lies. Marshal all your resources to determine the way forward. What you neglect could be the key to success.

  1. Indeed life will often throw us a curveball, we have to adapt and keep moving forward. It's also important to not get stuck, if we keep doing the same things we can't expect different results.

    1. When the situation changes, so should your tactics. Success is very rarely by the shortest route. Often, you must blaze a trail to your goal.

  2. Adapt. Adapt. And then keep adapting. And then adapt one more time. Repeat steps.

    1. Those who do not adapt do not survive. This is a world which changes constantly. The trick is to be yourself in the midst of it.
