Her intention had been to study Spanish at a language school and volunteer with children in the community during her down time. However, due to some miscommunications and a series of unfortunate events, things did not work out as she had planned. She talks with listeners about her strategy for navigating experiences that don\u2019t go as planned and still being able to pursue your original goal.\n\n1.Stay calm \u2013 Try not to get too worked up about the situation and choose not to focus on it too much. The more you dwell on what has happened, the less clear-headed you will be.\n\n2.Scope out alternatives \u2013 Research other opportunities that fit into your broader goal and timeframe and evaluate them to find the best fit. Reach out to locals or experts in the area for help. Be ok with saying \u201cno\u201d to opportunities that just aren\u2019t the right fit.\n\n3.Act and move forward \u2013 Work out the logistics and set up some parameters for what you are going to do or when you are going to make a decision. Be emotionally resilient and keep the bigger perspective on your goals.\n\n4.Be grateful \u2013 Recognize that all of these opportunities are blessings and even the hardest situations teach you some vital lessons that can be used later in life.\n\nTopics Covered in this Episode:\n\u2022Pushing past disappointment\n\u2022Being intentional and strategic\n\u2022Pursuing your goals despite setbacks\n\u2022Expressing gratitude through the process","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/58adb9e9-e079-428e-848f-6a36ccb9598a/e97a27b3b1e90612352ab0741bb743b8.jpg"}
