Best laid plans

There is another bend in the road after this. No one knows what will happen.

L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea

Let go: Making plans is a way to feel in control.

Start over: But plans can change unexpectedly.

Move forward: It’s hard to pivot and adjust when the path forward – the path that you put time, thought, and effort into – is blocked. But what if the new plan that is thrust upon you turns out to be even better? An unexpected detour can often turn out to be the best option after all. A detour can often teach you something you needed to learn.
