Adapt & Embrace

​I was at a networking event yesterday.  Some conversations and my own recent recovery from hip replacement surgery and death made me think.  Set backs are inevitable.  That is life.  It’s not a straight and narrow path.  There are countless curves, switch backs, hills (sometimes mountains) and then some easy moments.  Moments that are fabulous either in their simplicity or their greatness.  Often there is no warning, no signs ahead.  But the only option is to keep going.  To adapt and continue on.  Slow for a moment, pat yourself on the back for the wins and be gentle with yourself for the darker moments.  Relish the fabulous, joyous moments!  It tempers the other moments.

At this event there were conversations of people suffering great losses in their lives and how those times suck. How things happen and life continues.  The overwhelming message I received is that truly, no matter the events in life, good or bad, ultimately things will be better.  Mindset, attitude, the will to continue……….they are here to propel us forward on this journey called life!  The setbacks, whether minor or major will pass.  They will make you stronger.  They will show you how beautiful the beautiful moments of life are.  Embrace them!
