Life happens

English to Spanish Marketing Advertising / Public Relations
Leaders always plan. They put their plans into action. And then they review the results to see whether the things they are doing work for them in the way that they had hoped. And if they don’t, they plan again. They plan, do, and review. They never lose sight of their dreams. Ever. Most of us have things that come into our lives that get in the way, don’t we? ***Life happens***. And that’s a reality. The shame is not getting back into the race. That’s the important thing.

"Cosas pasan". ¿Qué otras ideas? Gracias.

la vida no se detiene

Creo que se trata de dar la idea de continuidad, movimiento; por eso se habla de "race"y creo que "no se detiene" podría ser una buena opción.

Reference:

life happens

Yo incluso lo traduciría simplemente por: "Cosas de la vida" en vez de "Son cosas de la vida" o "Así es la vida".
Sin embargo: "Cosas pasan" no se dice en España.
