Today, more than any other time in modern history, life is presenting challenges as well as new opportunities. The trick is to stay nimble and alert to see these not as obstacles to manage or cope with, but rather as possible great opportunities to be capitalized on. It’s all in the framing, and then in the actions you take. If you see something as a negative, you will react accordingly, trying to figure a way around it or how to sideline it altogether. BUT, if you see the very same thing from a different perspective, as an opportunity that could actually lead you in a new direction, it can be leveraged and take you to a whole new outcome. One that you never had considered before. So, the next time life throws you a curve ball, rather than reacting immediately, take a moment to just sit with it. Let it percolate. Challenge yourself to see it in a different light, one that might just lead you in a new direction-possibly a whole new chapter. You may find it to be surprisingly rewarding!

Welcome to Sage Life Solutions! I’m glad you stopped by and hope you will spend a few moments here.
A friend of mine once said, “Life is a merry-go-round, not a parade.” That thought has stuck with me for several years. What I find interesting in this perspective is that we may repeat the mistakes we make in life, until we learn the full lessons we were supposed to learn from them. At that point, and only at that point, we can move on, avoiding the next “pothole” in life’s road by recognizing it before we hit it.
