Sometimes we find ourselves in less that desirable situations because we’ve gotten ourselves into less than desirable situations.
Sometimes when the stars don’t align, the train takes too long to pass, or someone doesn’t react like we thought they would, it shifts us out of plan and away from how we wanted life to be.
But what about when we see it coming? What about all those clues we ignore because we don’t like change or because ignoring them today and dealing with them tomorrow is what we think is easier to do?
Our plans don’t always go “as planned”. There are just too many variables of life to think we can predict the future. The comfort of a routine is not good if the route of the routine is misguided. We don’t gain 30 pounds in a week, a marriage doesn’t end in a month, friendships don’t dissolve over a weekend, and finances don’t fall apart in one transaction.
Little things always add up to big things. That’s math. So unless we’re subtracting with counter actions, evolving the plan, and making little adjustments to stay on a forward moving path…We will more than likely find ourselves somewhere we don’t want to be.
