Eyes on the objective

by Ralph Marston

Life will throw unpleasant surprises at you again and again. Although you must deal with them, you don’t have to let those negative disruptions sink in too deeply.

Your plans can be interrupted, yet the good reasons behind those plans are still there. Engage your ability to adapt, adjust, and map out alternate plans that ultimately lead to your intended destination.

Even when you encounter a difficult detour, you still have the desire and the means to get where you’re going. Take it in stride, focus on the value of your chosen intention, and push forward.

Accept the fact that very few endeavors go exactly according to plan. Be prepared to take whatever previously unforeseen steps become necessary.

There’s a worthwhile objective ahead. Use your strength, skills, and resourcefulness to navigate all the way to it.

Whether you expected it or not, treat each obstacle not as a disaster but as a springboard. Work to keep your eyes on the objective, and you’ll reach it.
