“When forced, as it seems, by circumstances into utter confusion, get a hold of yourself quickly. Don'’'t be locked out of the rhythm any longer than necessary. You'll be able to keep the beat if you are constantly returning to it.”

- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 6.11

The best-laid plans are rendered mute by unforeseen circumstances. Life tends to throw us a curve when we least expect it. Our response is often the difference between success and failure.

Conclusion

When the natural order or peace becomes disrupted, our lives become challenged. It is our composure inside this chaos that propels us to success.
