Stay the Course

As somewhat of a control freak, I constantly feel the need to make sure all parts of my life are going according to plan. Sometimes, I don't really have a plan to begin with, but even then I have a general idea of the direction I'd like things to follow. Recently, however, more than a few aspects of my life haven't turned out quite how I would have hoped.

Naturally, I was upset by these outcomes and fought until the very end to get my way, but things don't always go how you want; that's just life. And that's OK. Am I disappointed how things ended? Of course. Was I some cases hurt and upset? Absolutely, but it hasn't been the end of the world. Life just happens, and it is how you choose to react that defines you. You can sit there and curse until you've turned blue about how life sucks, or you can accept the outcome of situations and move forward with life.

Most of us have a path we want our lives to take and it's our job to follow that path, get pass any hurdles that may come our way, and keep moving forward.
