Wrench in the works

There is a simple fact that things are going to change. You don't always get to choose the time frame. Most often it will be when you aren't expecting it and you will need to make adjustments. It can make things exciting if you are in the right state of mind or frustrating if you let the inevitability of these occurrences displace you.

The best thing to do is to make the adjustment and get going again. No doubt as soon as you get sorted out another change will present itself so you have to keep making decisions and moving forward. This is the way it goes and you need to keep on with the business of life.

There is no doubt theses situations can creep up on you at any point in time. They sometimes happen when you think you have things figured out. They happen when you have a routine in place. You can be thinking you've made all the plans and are on your way to getting it done exactly as you thought and that is when the  wrench gets thrown into the works. That saying is pretty descriptive. Everything will come to a screeching halt if such a tool is put in the path of accurately working gears. It doesn't matter how well greased and how smoothly things are running if a hard piece of metal is stuck where it shouldn't be placed. Change is that hard piece of metal.

But these things happen. It's not always easy to see what might be a good reason for it to happen. The size of the issue is entirely up to how you react to the change. You can make it bigger than it needs to be or try to stay relatively calm and figure out what you need to do next. You will need to do that either way so why not take the calmer route and save yourself the unnecessary rise in blood pressure. It's a pretty simple fact and there is nothing you can do to change it.
