TFTD


You have great plans, and yet life is always getting in the way. You intensely wish to move forward, but all sorts of things seem to constantly interrupt and impede that movement.

But do those unexpected and unwelcome interruptions really have to get in your way? The fact is, you don’t have to let them.

Sure, you must regularly deal with the urgent, pressing matters that come your way. But that doesn’t mean those unwelcome interruptions have to take over your life.

Instead of seeing those interruptions as negative, distracting influences, you can just as realistically choose to see them as positive opportunities. Just because they weren’t in your plans doesn’t mean they aren't a part of the plan.

Decide that there’s something positive to be found, and you’ll find something positive. Decide that the interruptions won’t really interrupt you, but will in fact provide you with additional ways to move forward, and that’s exactly what will happen.

Learn to welcome the unexpected interruptions. They’re always going to come, so make the choice to make them work in your favor.

Exactly.

"....make the choice to make them work in your favor."

Great advice. And thanks, Mel!
