Navigating the unexpected

When things don’t go to plan, how do you respond?

We don’t always have the presence of mind at the time, but that’s exactly when we should reconnect with our intentions.

Is this about me? Is this about someone else? What was I trying to accomplish? How can I refocus on the goal? How can I adjust?

Because it’s easy to get distracted by snafus. Unexpected changes have a way of drawing our attention away from intention and toward ego, frustration, impatience, and even resentment.

Have the wisdom to pause.

What was your intention? How can you pivot to realign with it?
