You need to plan for things going wrong and then you need to know that in that plan there are more things going to go wrong, that's just how life works. And it's not bad or good or anything, it just is like that.
Ever felt like life throws curveballs just to test your patience? In this episode of the Craving Wolves podcast, Carel van Heerden shares his thoughts on the power of setting intentions, especially when things don't go as planned.

He dives into the concept of leadership and how both reactive and proactive strategies play a role in navigating life's ups and downs.
With a mix of personal anecdotes and practical advice, Carel encourages listeners to build habits of problem-solving and action-taking. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of resilience and the small steps that can lead to significant positive changes.
