Plans derailed? Fear not. You are exactly where you’re supposed to be.

September 21, 2018·1 min read·Dr. Margie Warrell

Life is not linear. No matter how great your plans, it’s inevitable they will sometimes take a turn that you didn’t prepare for and don’t want.

But life’s greatest gifts often emerge from our derailed plans. So if you’ve found yourself wrestling with a reality that is not what you planned on, you’ll enjoy hearing Margie’s journey of dealing with the curve balls that have come her way and how you can build your resilience to adapt faster to change and bounce back from setbacks with the mindset needed to turn every loss into a win. As Margie says, “Life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you. Learning to lean into the curves are where you discover its gold.”
