The best laid plans….
We know how the story goes, but we are never quite prepared for what life throws at us, out of nowhere. We know that life is fragile and that life is unpredictable. We plan one thing, and midstream we have to throw those plans out the window and start anew — battling new challenges and facing our fears.
It is at times like these, we come to know who will help us steady the ship, and who will stand firmly in our corner. Who will stand shoulder to shoulder in battle, with resolve, or wipe away a tear with a gentle touch.
The message is clear. Don’t sweat the small stuff. In the final analysis, it is inconsequential at best, and probably not worth the energy you expend. Focus instead on those you love and those that need you when the chips are down.
