Prepare For The Unexpected…

In life, anything can happen. At any time things can change. You should be prepared for the unexpected, you should be prepared for the unseen, though you can’t foresee. But still, be prepared. The greatest shock we get in life comes from sudden and unexpected scenarios. But there are times when we can just prepare ahead.

I assume myself to end school at the age of 23 or 24 maximum maybe. But do I know what the future holds for me? No! No one knows. When i got admission i was offered a five years course instead of the regular four years course. So that must have changed the plans i had adding an additional year to my age.

Okay that fine, assumed i already said 23 or 24 then 24 it is. That's still fine. While on the process, along the journey itself things changed. The coronavirus came and shocked the world. A whole year lockdown. And now it’s automatically another year of studying again. My plan for 24 changed again and then I got an additional unexpected year. Making it 25.

Imagine if I had prepared my mind that when I get admission I would be out by age 30 😂. Maybe I won't get myself in all of this mess or even feel disappointed or discouraged. That's just an example of preparing oneself ahead of unexpected situations.

Life is so funny at times. And let's say that’s part of what makes it an interesting place to live. If everything should work as we plan then there won't be much interest in living longer and anticipating. The hopes we had, in times of pain and sorrow, the forgetfulness we encountered in times of joy and happiness. All of these are amazing parts of life.

There are times when we say the eldest in the house might be the first to kick the bucket because of their age. But all of a sudden the eldest might be the last pillar of the house after the demise of others.

Anything can happen at any time. Don't keep your hopes too high. Have hopes, but make them on a moderate level. Be prepared for positivity alongside negativity. They are all part of life. We live to witness all of these. So why be one sided??

Happiness, joy, sorrow, sadness, wealth, power, tears, smiles, celebration, death, are all part of life and they can be to anyone at any point in time. There are some we work hard to get but we won't get our hands on it. Some are results of the choices we made, while some are just inevitable and there is no way we can escape from them.

Life goes on and so do we. Just having it in the back of our minds that we only live once. And once it's over, it’s finally over!

This is just me sitting on a couch this night pondering about life and the mystery of life itself. Do well to have a nice rest!
