The plan was solid.
Then something changed.
You can spend energy defending the original version.
Explaining why it should have worked.
Holding onto a shape that no longer fits.
Or you can adjust.
Plans are tools.
Not promises.
Not identity.
Not proof of control.
They exist to aim you forward.
When the ground shifts, the aim can shift too.
Flexibility isn't weakness.
It's awareness dressed in action.
The best builders revise constantly.
They don't mourn drafts. They improve them.
Life will move whether you hold tight or not.
The loose grip just makes the ride smoother.
You were never in control of the outcome.
Only the response.
