Does anyone else feel like just as you’re about to move ahead a random curve ball comes around to knock the wind out of you? Has anyone survived these and was still able to press forward and upward? I feel like these always make me lose my footing and I end up on a plateau while I figure out the curve ball. Then, when I recover, the momentum upwards is not the same.

I have felt similar things at times. I know it's completely irrational, yet sometimes I feel quite superstitious. I'll start to wonder if I'd done something to jinx myself. Or I'll wonder what I've done that would cause something negative to pop up just when things seem to be going pretty well. I think perhaps that's just the nature of life, you can never really be sure what's around the next bend.

Yeah.. I think this is just life. Like I swear every time something big is about to happen at work, something awful happens in my personal life, or vice versa. It's impossible to get everything to align in the right way at the right time. We just have to push through and do our best

Hi there, I sympathize with the underwriting concerns. As one matures, we deal with a number of issues that are related with the consumer’s application’s, To the underwriter, what is the risk that this consumer might be experiencing? Are we able to get them on a particular plan that fits well with their essential needs?
