Sometimes the biggest shifts in our lives come from unintended consequences.
We usually think of those words in a negative way, the deal that fell through, the partnership that fizzled, the choice that rippled further than we thought. And yes, sometimes the consequences hurt. They stretch us in ways we didn’t ask for.
But unintended consequences can also be surprisingly good, the unexpected client referral, the person we met by chance who becomes a dear friend, the mistake that turned into innovation.
The truth is, we can’t possibly see it all coming. What we can do
is choose how we respond when life surprises us
