Everyone has a plan, what they see as a pathway to success. Some are meticulously laid out and may extend well into the future, having many moving parts that must be synchronized along the way in order to reach that magical kingdom called 'success'.
Some folks, though, choose the less difficult way to reach their version of success, the path of least resistance, by flying by the seat of their pants, winging it through life on their way to the prize., whatever form that may have.
And then the problems start happening, interrupting the schedule you've set for yourself, blocking your chosen course. A death in the family, a major medical issue, marital trouble...there will be something that falls across your road, becoming an issue that must be solved or overcome.
When that time comes you'll have to make a decision based on a number of concerns and variables.
How you respond in that moment, at that time, will dictate how the rest of your journey goes.
How do you make those big decisions or handle a setback? It all goes back to how bad you want what you're seeking. Hard work and extra hours could be the answer, as well as the possibility of altering course and going a different direction for a bit.
You just have to get past those issues by any means necessary and move forward....as long as your actions are legal,
And if your decision has bumps and potholes, you know what to do to...deal with them. No 'woe is me' or 'I just can't win'. Nope, the problem is yours and it is solvable. You'll find a way.
Dad used to say, 'no problem you're going through right now hasn't been had by someone else before you'. Sage advice from the man who raised me.
Those pot holes and roadblock? Later in life they're points of reference. You'll realize they served a purpose and added to the fabric of your character, making you a better person.
And isn't that what we all want? To be better people?
