As Planned

“Life doesn’t always turn out as we had planned, but sometimes the surprises are the best part.”

I was in the kitchen making some coffee this morning, and I heard the above come from the TV I had on for background. I couldn’t tell you what show, commercial, song, it came from, but I loved it so much I thought I’d quick share it along.❤️ 

Big or small, we all have things that haven’t turned out as we had planned or hoped for. And, whether good surprises that bring us joy or bad surprises that we’re not sure how to handle or cope with, I really believe we’re always left with some good when the dust settles.

It’s how we handle these surprises, good, bad, and in between, that is important. If we open ourselves up to be vulnerable and grow from the challenges, we get to the best parts.

Maybe life’s surprises open us up to a new perspective or outlook, help us grow closer to loved ones, allow us to reconnect with old friends, give us the courage to trust our gut, push us outside of our comfort zone, or otherwise.

Life is full of the unexpected. Take chances, embrace what you’re thrown, and find the best parts along the way.💋
