Dealing with life’s curveballs

posted in: Uncategorized | 0

Life throws curveballs at everyone. We sometimes have the tendency to drop a plan if the challenges become too great. In the army when a plan doesn’t go as expected then you “Improvise, Adapt and Overcome”. This is often preceded by the misuse of shooting practice expression of “Stop, Make Safe”. This term in its literal meaning is to fully unload and reload. I will use these as reference for how at least one of our plans/dreams (our move to the Bahamas) have gone through this process.
