Good Morning,
The old saying goes: "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry."
This is not to be used as an excuse not to plan. Rather, it is a realization that we do not control everything in our universe. Things happen that are out of our control.
- None of us created Covid 19 which changed the way we live.
- None of us caused the current rampant inflation.
- None of us started the war in Ukraine
- In most cases, we didn't create the mind set of the person we are dealing with in any situation.
Yes, I know, some of the stuff we must deal with is self created based on a bad decision or read of the situation. None of us is perfect, whether we choose to believe it or not,
The issue, here, is not the stuff we are required do deal with but how we choose to deal with it. Much of it is our own personal attitude. Do we recognize it for what it is, deal with it to the best of our ability and move on with life or do we let it get us down and wallow in the mud wrestling with it. Each of us has the choice. As Zig Ziglar said "Your Attitude {not your aptitude} Will Determine your Altitude. It is a choice!
Have a great week.
Jim
