The Beauty Of Life Never Working Out The Way You Plan And Embracing The Unexpected
You can’t plan your life out, although most people certainly try.
From the moment most of us enter school, we start thinking of how our lives will go. What college we will go to, what job we will get, how many kids we will have, when we will get married. It’s an exhausting list of plans, checklists and goals over things we really have no control over… unless you live your life so carefully, you hardly live at all.
You see, it’s the surprises, the changes, the unexpected moments that mold your life. It’s the things you don’t plan that alter your future and have a large hand in who you are to become. It’s the bumps along the way, the unexpected potholes, the strangers you pick up. It’s the forks in the road, the unmarked road signs and the wrong turns that lead you to where you should ultimately end up.
The difference is how you react to those changes. Do you warmly accept and welcome the unexpected or do you try to fight it, slamming the door in its face?
For those who try to fight the unexpected, life seems more like a battlefield than a playground of new opportunity. Fighting the unexpected only sets them up for a lifetime of challenges and lost battles. Because you can’t fight the unexpected, it will only enter through an unlocked window.
