Twists and turns
Sometimes you must get it wrong before you can know how to
get it right. Often, short-term disappointment is a
necessary step on the path to long-term fulfillment.<P>
When things fail to go according to plan, all is not lost.
Mistakes, surprises and distractions can bring their own
unique and valuable possibilities.<P>
If you were unable to get the results you intended, don't
waste a lot of time being angry, resentful or disappointed.
Instead, look for the new set of opportunities with which
you've been presented.<P>
If the first ship sails without you, that could very likely
turn out to be a blessing. For the voyage on the next ship
can end up being better than you could ever have previously
imagined.<P>
Don't put a lot of energy into judging, after the fact,
whether a particular outcome is desirable or not. Put your
energy into finding ways to move forward from the current
situation.<P>
The road to fulfillment is never a straight line. Learn to
navigate the twists and turns, and you'll find something of
value in every result.<P>
