By Allen Lyle

This week, Allen outlines a 4-point plan for coping with any unforeseen circumstance that may pop up and surprise you.

TRANSCRIPT:

Life has a funny, and often irritating way of throwing us curveballs. They can be something nice like a surprise birthday party…. Inconvenient like a flat tire…. Or catastrophic like a terrorist attack or an act of war.

But don't worry, I've got a 4-step plan that can help anyone know how to handle any unforeseen circumstance.

First things first, stay calm. Take a deep breath. Panicking won't solve anything.

Second: Assess the situation. What precisely is the problem? Do you know what caused it? Understanding the challenge is the first step to overcoming it.

Next, don't be afraid to ask for help. Whether it's a flat tire or a bigger issue, there's always someone willing to lend a hand.

And finally, learn from it. Every unexpected twist is a chance to grow and be better prepared for the future.

Remember, life's surprises are just opportunities in disguise. Stay calm, assess, ask for help, and learn.
