We do not create our lives in a vacuum. Even hermits have visitors and the weather. And, yes, it's disappointing when you have a setback, when things do not go as planned, but for all you know, things are going exactly as planned. We do not create our lives in a vacuum and we do not know everything, even about ourselves.

A 'change in plans' happen for a reason, use the time wisely, because that's what you have been given, time, time and space.

Do not fret, fuss, lament, or plunge into a slough of despond because what you thought was going to happen, doesn't. All that will do is send you off on a tangent. Instead, focus on your dreams and ask yourself what you can do, given your current situation, to enhance the likelihood that those dreams will come real.

Don't look back if you can help it. Don't look back unless it  is helpful. Don't look forward. Don't look forward unless it is needed. Stay where you are. Look at what is there, with you, just now. It is all helpful; it is all useful; it is all necessary. Be grateful; be thankful; love where you are.
