So, that's <i>good</i> news, because it's the greatest attitude one can ever adopt. We'll always have setbacks. But, as you say, they simply serve as reminders that we need to get our <i>thinking</i> back on track before we can expect to get our schedules (or anything else) back on track. Your question about control is a very insightful one and, I suspect, one that can take you far in your journey of self-discovery and perpetual growth and improvement. Learning to "go with the flow," (aka, accept change) while still maintaining just enough control to keep things running smoothly, is a delicate balance that's difficult to achieve. Yet, through trial and error--and a hefty dose of courage--we improve in that area, little by little, as we test the waters and see what works.
