It seems that no matter how hard you plan for something, or some day, it can all go in the gutter within a moment.

That afternoon of quiet time to yourself turns into a nightmare with an emergency out of the blue. That trip you’ve been looking forward to has to be put on hiatus because of a natural disaster at your destination.

The big event you’ve planned with all the pieces in place suddenly goes awry when everybody starts cancelling.

We’ve all been there and it can really suck the life out of you. A lot of it is because we expect it can happen… but not to us.

There’s no real way to make it better.

The best we can do is plan as if it’ll be perfect, but expect that it can all get dismantled in an instant.

As long as you’ve mentally prepared, you won’t be caught off guard and you’ll be able to rebound nicely.
