Expect the unexpected. I often blog about going with the flow. Not attempting to force one’s will on a situation, instead, allowing it to play out the way it was intended.
Yesterday, I blogged about how this trip east for me began with my girlfriend and me staying at an absolute dive of a locale, despite it being a reputable hotel chain. We hadn’t expected our trip to begin that way, but…then…who does. Did we get upset? No. We simply laughed it off. Of course, realizing that the hotel chain wouldn’t want its reputation soiled, we took steps to make them aware of the situation so they can make necessary changes.
Since we changed hotels, we’ve opted to go with the flow. Yes, we’ve been busy—very—tis the nature of this trip. But we haven’t stressed about being busy or piled more on our plates than we’re capable of handling. Instead, we’ve taken the approach that we’ll prioritize things in the proper order, meaning, we won’t let the extraneous get in the way of what we want/need to get accomplished while here.
Adopting this mentality, I came to realize something I didn’t think I would. The unexpected (the good kind) is occurring so often, that it’s almost becoming the expected. And frankly, I like how things are playing out. The doors of opportunity, which are being opened. The connections I’m making. The fact I’m not stressing out. And most of all, I’m learning to expect the unexpected with open arms.
