When I fly little planes, everything is about safety. When things go wrong, I have a simple rule:
Fly the plane. Navigate the plane. Communicate with somebody who can help.
The same applies to life.
When things get challenging, most folks go directly to asking for advice.
What they get is –
“Tell me what is happening in your life. Where are you? What’s going on?”
If you don’t have control of the basics, it’s difficult for anybody to help.
The next time life gets wild, keep flying your “Life Airplane,” and do your best to navigate the obstacles to a safe situation. In other words, keep control of what you have so you don’t lose it. Then reach out for help.
