As many people learn in the course of their professional lives,
it is best to remain one step ahead and anticipate what may come in order to meet the challenges of daily life. This requires both the recognition of the fact that things continually change as well as the ability to look at any given situation from multiple perspectives. If we wish to accomplish our aims in spite of the many challenges that life invariably throws our way, rather than wishing that things were otherwise or trying to force our circumstances to be different, we must be brave enough to try to be comfortable in any environment. Thus, we must continually prepare ourselves to adopt a new way of life and accept whatever might become the "new normal."
