How did you accept / Have you accepted that your life didn’t turn out how you thought it was going to happen?

I always got high grades and was told I had a bright future. I planned on going into education, and moving to a city somewhere. Then I got expelled for fighting and now I manage a leisure centre, which is not what I ever planned on doing. I think the important thing is to focus on where you can go from where you are now – if you can still strive to achieve your original goals then go for it, but if you can’t, get new goals. I never thought I’d be aiming for upper management of a leisure company, but here I am doing my damndest to get there, and I’m happy.
