Flexibility in Decision-Making

We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

I’ve been struggling with some things lately, mostly health-related, that have left me feeling very sorry for myself and thrown off track. Really getting into feeling pathetic and sorry for myself. I had to remind myself that even the best-laid plans can be turned over in a heartbeat by things you can’t control. My life is a series of ever-changing plans. Sometimes this triggers me to feel powerless, as if I have no control over what happens to me. But this is not true. There is another quote I like, that goes something like ‘you can’t control which way the wind blows but you can direct the sails’ or something like that. This is what is true. I always have choices in what I do and how I respond to life challenges.
