What if the plans you have for your life do not go as planned?

Chances are you have plans for your future, we all think we know what we want at some point. Some people have every step of their life planned out from high school on, others have plans for their marriage, job, or retirement. Often in life what we have planned for our lives doesn't play out how we imagined it would. 
So what do you do when your plans get completely thrown out of whack? It could an unexpected pregnancy, job loss, loss of a family member, or anything else that interrupts your plan. 
What do you do? It's so easy to panic and get stressed out or even give up, and you can some but you have to keep going and adapt. The "how" is the big question.
 When your at your low point asking "why me?" "how do I go on?" , that's when you have the opportunity to be great! Yes I know it sounds insane when you are struggling to make it day to day
When you look around at all the people who seem to have it together and are comparing yourself to them it may seem like your the only one falling apart. Well I have a secret for you they don't have it all together either, everyone's  life has issues some are just better at hiding it than others. Your not crazy for wanting to hide we all do at some point. At this point you have an opportunity to show the world what your made of! 
You can adapt and you can succeed ! No it is not easy and it will not happen overnight but If you wake up everyday telling yourself you will fail you will. 
Most of the battle in our lives is overcoming our own doubts and fears. To often we are afraid of our own failure, but what does failure mean? Failure means you tried and that you've learned, became stronger, and next time you will be better prepared. The only time you truly fail is when you quit or don't attempt to try. You can come out of this stronger, braver and full of life if you choose to.
 So today I challenge you to do something you've been wanting to do but fear has held you back.
