Uncertain moments, situations, periods of our lives can lead to 'fight or flight' mode and react negatively when someone tells you, 'Everything happens for a reason." If we reflect on these moments, we can unlock insights that enable us to clear our minds and prepare us for the next time uncertainty strikes...even lead us to say, "That must have happened for a reason." I'd like to share a period in 2001 with you. Upon reflection, I learned that employment contracts are never 'secure' for a hot shot university graduate on vacation in Europe...and the period that followed allowed me to grow and lead me down a path to where I am today.
