It's not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change. - Charles Darwin
Flexible goal planning Does change stress you out? Do you feel anxious not knowing what is around the corner in life? It is unreasonable to expect the world to adapt for you; rather you must change to fit the world. Life is without a doubt, unpredictable. While it is natural to desire stability and consistency, life simply doesn't work that way all of the time. People pass away, financial situations change, relationships end--all without our consultation! The best solution is to develop a sense of humor and flexibility. Continue to set long-term goals, but keep your options and means for achieving those goals adaptable, just in case life decides to throw a wrench in your plans.

Oh, yeah.  The older I get the more I understand about the importance of flexibility, humor and unpredictability. Good post.

Thanks!
I agree acceptance and even EMBRACEMENT of change can allow us much more than resistance/denial!
Hope you are well. Jamie

LisaMarie, Thanks for sharing, I for one have a hard time dealing with change. Even though I want it and need it, I guess I stress out about a lot of things Thanks again
