You think your plans didn’t work out?

Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore thought they were going to space for just 8 days.
They ended up stuck for 286 days.

Imagine this:
👉🏾 You pack for a short trip, but end up being away for almost a year.
👉🏾 No fresh air. No real food. No way out—just waiting in space.
👉🏾 No idea when, or even if, you’ll return home.

Now think about how we lose patience when:

• A 10-minute traffic jam ruins our day.
• A deal gets delayed.
• 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 through 286 days of uncertainty.
And they made it.

If that’s not the ultimate lesson in patience, endurance, and problem-solving, I don’t know what is.

Next time life throws delays at us… let’s remember:
At least we’re not stranded in space.
Plans will change, things will take longer than expected—but if they survived 9 months in space, we can handle a few bumps in life.
