You think your plans didn’t work out?

Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore thought they were going to space only for 8 days.
They ended up being there for 286 days.

They were LITERALLY stranded in space.

Imagine this:
👉🏾 You pack for a short trip, but instead, you’re gone for almost a year.
👉🏾 No fresh air. No real food. No way out, just waiting in the void of space.
👉🏾 No clear answer to when (or even if) you’ll make it back home.

And here we are, losing patience when:
- A 10-minute traffic jam ruins our day.
- A deal gets delayed by a few days/ months.
- A rejection email makes us want to quit.

Those astronauts had no control over their situation. They couldn’t just book a return flight. They had to accept, adapt, stay calm and trust the process for 286 days of uncertainty.

And they made it.

If THAT isn’t the ultimate lesson of Patience, Endurance, and Problem-solving, I don’t know what it is.

Hats-off to these legends for not just surviving but making history.

Next time life throws unexpected delays at us, let’s remember:
At least we’re not stranded in space.

Life will throw curveballs. Your plans will go Haywire, things will take WAY longer than expected.
But if these astronauts can survive nine months in space instead of eight days, you and I can surely handle a few detours here & there in life.

Not seeing results? Feel like giving up? Consider this: the LAST thing to grow on a fruit tree...is the fruit.
