How do we navigate change that’s unexpected? This is a question that I’ve found a lot of people are struggling with today. Change is inevitable, whether it's in our personal lives, careers, or society at large. It's like that surprise guest who shows up uninvited when you least expect it… and is here to stay. While we can't always control change, we do have some say in how we respond to it. That doesn’t make it easy though!   Here are three questions to help you get back on track when life throws you a curveball:    What can I control in this situation?  How can I shift my mindset?  Is there a silver lining or hidden potential within this change?  By asking ourselves these questions, we can begin to navigate the unexpected with a bit more grace and resilience.

While you can have both, it’s important not to confuse them. Achievement centers on tangible outcomes, but it’s often temporary and can get addicting. Fulfillment is something deeper. It’s about finding purpose and living by your values. It lasts longer and feels more real. Without it, success can feel empty.  Here are three questions I use to check in with myself, when I feel the lines start to blur:   What am I chasing?  Why?  Do I like who I am becoming in that pursuit?
