Sometimes
in life, we expect a relationship, an event, or a transaction to go smoothly –
and then discover that the reality is much more different. Conversations and
interactions become more complex, nuanced by personal agendas and hidden
motives. Maybe we missed the obvious signs because of our won unwillingness to
see the truth. Or maybe we were overconfident in our ability to adjust to
change. Regardless of the catalyst, life
continually presents us with moments that force us to revise our expectations
and recalculate our present path.
