Life operates in its mysterious ways. You will almost never get anything that you are fixated at, and when you least expect it, things come knocking on your door. There is no way around it, and you just have to make sure you are always physically and mentally prepared for the unexpected journeys in life.
We can plan all we want, and believe me I’m probably more logical and organized than I should have in life. Yet when the circumstances in life ask you to take a break from your work schedules, relationships, or longer term plans, you just have to take a big breath, get your gears on (and sometimes off) and embrace what’s next. The most important thing is to learn how to be content with what you already have. Don’t be a whiner.
Bessie Anderson Stanley wrote a poem in 1904 titled Success. I find it very fitting today.
He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;
Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth’s beauty or failed to express it;
Who has left the world better than he found it,
Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
Whose life was an inspiration;
Whose memory a benediction.
