What do you do when life throws you a curveball in the middle of a snowstorm? Do you run? Do you cry? Do you throw yourself to the ground and give up? We all have a flight or fight option within us that kicks in when the unexpected happens. When the avalanche descends, and we decide to run anyway. Or when the paramedics come to aid a sick person and perform CPR, they are there to fight on behalf of the patient for that life.

That even in the midst of the chaos, there are gains to be learned. A new perspective will surely be found in what to change, new choices to be made, and highlight a better way will often reveal itself in the unknown moments. Just like in life, creating a marketing plan, choosing a new career path, or stepping out into business it can be daunting. The path isn’t always straight, and you may need to feel the fear, and do it anyway, but here’s the gain: Even if it fails or your faith, you will have gleaned something more valuable from the unexpected than if you had never stepped out in the first place.
