If you knew that your project would not go as planned and as you want, would you still start it?

Would you?

We dream of the next thing – be that complete life change, our next work project, or simply getting through the day with our kids. And when we dream, there is a lot of bliss.

And yet, when we start, when we engage, there are difficult days and weeks. At some point our projects don’t go exactly to plan. They always do. And when they do, it’s helpful to remember, it is not you, but rather the nature of projects and being human.

Knowing this, expecting this, can help us enjoy and learn from the journey.
