The Best Laid Plans...

To say that life doesn't always work out according to plan, would be a serious understatement. And to say there is no rhyme or reason to things, would also be a serious understatement.

More on this later...

One of my favorite quotes to think about during stressful times comes from Mother Teresa:
"I've heard that God gives us only what we can handle, but sometimes I wish He wasn't quite so confident of me."

Another good one for reflection: "When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us."

Basically, focus on what's right in front of you (the 'now') and have confidence that you can handle any situation thrown your way. Concentrating on feeling centered and being very aware of those things you can control versus those things you cannot, and simply accepting that you already have all the tools you need to handle any situation, can truly help you through any difficulty.

The trick is to simply believe that you can do it.... And you will.
