Sometimes circumstances take a huge detour and take another route. Just when you think everything is going along nice and smoothly. A curve ball appears from nowhere! Are you good at making adjustments to meet the changes around you?

We are nowadays living in a complex world and things keeps on changing. We must be flexible and adapt to changes. Yes I try to make adjustments

I think we all have to make adjustments in life, however small!

@LadyDuck Maybe it builds our character when things don't go our own way all the time.

I wouldn't say I'm good at it but I will say my family and I have gotten through anything life throws at us the best we can. And we still have our faith and our marriage. We have been homeless, lost babies due to miscarriages, lost many homes to evictions, been without a vehicle for months at a time, and always struggled financially.

Amazing what you have endured so far. Seem to have become stronger too.

I can go along with the changes in this world. But I don't change because it was the preference of others.

@dianadee It can be possible. But I can't change just to be accepted in the crowd.

@Shavkat You never have to be someone else. If we are more loving towards people that have a bad attitude towards us, it dampens the fuel and the antagonistic fire goes out! End up on top not under their control.

Slight shift in attitude can also create changes,in reactions from people.

I've never been in a situation that called for reinventing myself.

I like to think I am. In my earlier years we moved all the time, almost every years while my husband was building his reputation in his work. We agreed to do that for that reason, and he got were he wanted to be and then still wanted to make another move and I put my foot down and said you can go but the kids are teens now and need to stay in the schools they were in, we're miss you but you can come home to visit.... he stayed, and now is happy he did.

@dianadee my kids were moved so often it was just our way of life.They were strong and easily made friends every time but I was worried since they were in highschool, thinking staying in the same school with the same friends and same teachers would help them. They graduated with honors and continued to college.

@PainsOnSlate Children are able to make friends, easier than adults!

When kids are at school it is so difficult for them. Sometimes it can be disruptive even although they can be very flexible.

I have had to reinvent myself several times over the last few years after I left my full-time job. Every incarnation has been interesting in its own way.
