| Have fun with these phrases: these boots are made for walking, I feel the need for speed, go ahead make my day, same procedure as last year, and I'm sorry Dave I can't do that. To people who continually keep asking for space or say I can't do that... *Beware* . *You think YOUR plans didn’t work out?* Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore thought they were going to space for 8 days. They ended up being stuck for 286 days. They were LITERALLY stranded in space. Imagine this: 👉🏾 You pack for a short trip, but instead, you’re gone for almost a year. 👉🏾 No fresh air. No real food. No way out—just waiting in the void of space. 👉🏾 No clear answer to when (or even if) you’ll make it back home. And here we are, losing patience when: - A 10-minute traffic jam ruins our day. - A deal gets delayed by a few months. - A rejection email makes us want to quit. Perspective. These astronauts had no control over their situation. They couldn’t just book a return flight. They had to adapt, stay calm, and trust the process for 286 days of uncertainty. And they made it. If THAT isn’t the ultimate lesson in patience, endurance, and problem-solving—I don’t know what is. Hats off to these legends for not just surviving, but making history. Next time life throws unexpected delays at us… let’s remember: At least we’re not stranded in space. Life will throw curveballs. Your plans will go sideways. Things will take WAY longer than expected. But if these astronauts can survive nine months in space instead of eight days, you and I can handle a few detours in life rather than create more uncertainty with speed in life. |
