Sometimes things don’t always go according to plans.
Well, maybe things don’t always go according to plans more often then sometimes. That’s the way that my life goes anyway.
I never planned on rupturing a disc in my back when I was 20, which literally changed my life forever.
I never planned on losing 2 jobs in one day when I was 22 either.
I also never planned on getting ripped off thousands of dollars by some sly sons of guns for freelance graphic design work that they never paid for, which put me in debt as a result. Ya, that was my salary at the time.
Maybe you’ve experienced some setbacks that have impacted your life in a great way.
Then again, maybe not.
If that’s the case then more power to you.
For the rest of us, we must adapt. Adaptation to circumstances is a prerequisite to becoming successful in any endeavor.
You must become a chameleon.
The severe back injury when I was 20 gave me the opportunity to grow into the person that I am today. It was a gift. It made me stronger that I ever could imagine and has blessed me with the knowledge and ability to help others overcome their daily struggles and defeat.
All because I adapted.
I’ll say it again, I am blessed.
Losing 2 jobs in one day was also a blessing. At that time in my life, before I became an entrepreneur, I needed some direction and needed a BIG change. This gave me the opportunity to do a lot of soul searching and self introspection. It also gave me the time to go stay with my older sister in NYC for a while which was a great experience that I wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise.
Once again, I adapted and moved on.
This was only a stepping stone in the mountain of Life that I am conquering.
And the last example made me much, much wiser. I had to rethink the way I conducted business and started operating in a different manner. Freelance work wasn’t my cup of tea anyway. I moved on to BIGGER and much BETTER things since.
In each situation, I adapted to the circumstances and I won.
Are you struggling to adapt to either a small setback or major change in your life?
If someone beats you to the punch by rolling out the same idea for a product that you have been working on for the past 5 years what are you going to do?
Sit around and cry about it?
That’s an option only for the weak.
It is only the strong that survive.
Adaptation takes strength of both mind and character.
No matter what the circumstance, know that it is just Life trying to get you back on the right track. Adaptation is part of the process of achievement. It’s really no big deal anyway. Just as your eyes adapt to either light or dark, you must take your lemons and make some lemonade.

At times things do not go the way we want them to go. When some things happen to us we often wonder why it had to be us or me. These are all challenges of life and we need to see them as stepping stones towards greater things. Things will never be smooth at all times. It is only human to face some difficult times but how we react after those challenges is what really matters.
