It only takes one simple change to make the day a little rockier than expected.
Water heater goes out…
Air no longer works…
Microwave catches on fire…
Pipes burst…
Car won’t start…
______________… name it.
It’s guaranteed in life that these things will happen so why get upset about it? It’s because change is hard. Interruption veers the direction that was planned. Convenience is desired.
Though changes like this can be hard it’s important to put them in perspective.
Recognize that this is a moment in time and not forever.
It only takes one simple change to make the day a little rockier than expected. Yet the control lies in the reaction to the change.
You are so right, it is all in the reaction! I have been having lots of wifi issues lately and this morning gave myself a talking to about overreacting. It is hard when something you depend on changes… This line really resonated with me: Recognize that this is a moment in time and not forever. Thanks for the reminder.
