Life is unpredictable, it is beautiful, it is messy and it can rock your world for the better or for the worst on any given day without your consent.
It is for that reason I realize my grandmother use to say, “Listen here girl”..."Do not put all your eggs in one basket."
In other words, be open...
....to exploring other possibilities
....to creating alternatives
....to understanding that there are different paths to attaining the same goal(s)
....to recognizing opportunities
....to being willing to do the work to achieve the goals
....to utilizing opportunities enabling continual growth, inspiration, motivation and satisfaction
....to being flexible (nothing is guaranteed, the wise learn how to flex, shift and accommodate change)
Understand…
…that you are designed to more than one purpose
Stay…
... Hopeful not entitled,
... Joyful not mournful,
...Enjoy life
And….
…Manage your expectations

Yes we often have to remind ourselves or surround ourselves with people who will get us grounded and reminds us to remain open.
DeleteYeah! I agree but about the ¨Not putting eggs in one basket¨ I kinda have a reservation, but just depending on the perspective you're coming from.
