“So much of life is the story of how we navigate unexpected change.”

Life rarely follows the script we write!

Just when we think we know our direction, something shifts — a job ends, health changes, someone leaves, or opportunity knocks when we least expect it.

So much of life is really the story of how we navigate these unexpected changes.

The people who move forward aren’t those who avoid surprises, but those who adapt and stay curious. They allow disappointment and discovery to coexist.

Each twist of fate can strengthen resilience if we meet it with humility and attention.

EXERCISE:

Today, take one small step toward flexibility — listen instead of react, breathe before deciding, or reframe what feels uncertain.

Notice how every pivot — handled with patience and grace — adds a new meaningful chapter to your life.
