The Unpredictability of Life
Life in itself is an adventure. We might have the map and a plan, but even the best maps can't show the unpredictability of life. We might plan our route, pack our bags, and draw out our map, but there's always a chance of surprises along the way. Life is full of surprises, both expected and unexpected, both good and bad, that can appear around every corner.
Just like a plot twist in a story, unexpected events can happen at any time. Things can change so suddenly. Sometimes, the unexpected can be wonderful, like winning a lottery, or getting a chance of a lifetime. We might just stumble upon a hidden gem on a road trip.
While we can make choices and plans, other things are beyond our control. It could be an unexpected change in the weather, other people's decisions, or even just random events.
New discoveries, inventions, and even just everyday events can affect the world around us in unexpected ways.
The unpredictability of life should make us live in the present. We cannot undo the past, so no matter what, the past already happened. We cannot plan for the future, as there is no certainty of a future.
Living in the present would mean being flexible and open to new possibilities. We could have plans, but be ready for plan B or plan C if plan A does not seem to work.
While we can't control everything, we can control our actions, reactions and attitudes. What someone wants today might not be what they want tomorrow, which can affect our actions, and reactions. The unpredictability can be scary but it also makes life exciting and full of possibilities. We may not know what's coming next but we can choose how to react.
Even when things don't go as planned, look for the good in every situation. Don't get too hung up on what might happen next. Appreciate the present moment and make the most of every experience. We are the driver of our own journey, so if life throws unexpected things our way, our instant reaction is to jerk, swerve, but we are still in control, so continue on with the ride, make the most of every surprise we may stumble, unexpected turns would happen ~ ENJOY THE RIDE!!!

Your are right on the money Maria!
We have to prepare the best we can when it comes to the unexpected. That does not mean that they unpredictable things are not going to happen, it means we know that they will and as we can sometimes be prepared for some, others are going to surpirse us.
As Jim Rohn would say, " That's just the way it is on this planet, maybe not the next one but certainly on this one, for 6000 years we know of."
I love Jim Rohn, he had a great since of humor.

Thank you for this lovely post. I find myself deeply considering the concept (live fully in the present) these days when everyone is super anxious and constantly expecting disaster. The bible says take no thought for tomorrow for whatever happens tomorrow will be taken care of at that time. There is always sufficient trouble happening for you to concern yourself with, in every today. A better use of your time is to consider that innermost part of you which is not troubled by what is happening around you and can provide you with a solid foundation for your mind and a better way of being in all circumstances. Matthew 6:32-34.
Thank you Kandi! You are absolutely right ~ we should live for the present as tomorrow is not certain!
