We make plans, but something goes awry. This is where adaptability is key. Adaptability means we don’t freak out or get angry. We pivot. We change and reset our course. Oftentimes people focus on how smart someone is. We need a modicum of intelligence to succeed, but we need adaptability by the truckloads for successful outcomes…

What To Say…
What do you say when you don’t know what to say?
Thursday evening, I received an email from a dear friend of mine. She was letting me know that her beautiful, bright 24 year old daughter had committed suicide in early July. I was stunned and extremely sad at the same time. You want to say something to take away the pain they are feeling, but there are no words. All I could say was that I would keep her and all of her family in my prayers, praying for peace and clarity. And that I was sending light and love to them.
There are no words in these situations. Just be there.
The Past and The Future…
“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending” –
C. S. Lewis

We are here for a greater purpose. Life will always be a struggle, no doubt. But I encourage you to find your purpose and live it. Bravely.

All of us have regrets. We must let go of them, learn from them, and not allow ourselves to be mired down by them. Wherever you are in life, you have the ability to set the course of your own future. Ask for guidance from the Creator. He will show you the way to your destiny…
