WEEK TWENTY-ONE:
DESPAIR. HOPE AND ADAPTATION
"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails."
Beth Moore
Problems usually arise when we least expect them. Complaining about them doesn't change anything, except draining you and those around you of the energy needed to tackle the situation.
Hope and optimism are a good thing, but if they are accompanied by inaction, then all you will be is a happy person with a problem. Don't get me wrong; contentment is an admirable virtue, but it can quickly turn into complacency and stagnation.
The only constant in this world is change, and we need to adapt in order to not only survive, but to thrive. You have been through a lot by now, and have no doubt experienced some obstacles in your goal - setting. Perhaps you've realized that you are more effective at night than during the day, or that your day job encroaches on your social time. Take note of these and adjust accordingly.
