Expecting the Unexpected

Have you ever considered what lies ahead for us? 

It's a fact that we don't have the ability to foresee the upcoming days, weeks, months, years... Or even the next few seconds. 

We find ourselves in the mids of uncertainty, out of nowhere—as the foresight about what will going on remains unseen. It is the life that can possibly give us its twists and turns.

Should we be fearful of the future? 

Well, I can fully understand that fear may come. We feel so much worried about what will going to be happened, with every "what ifs" which populate in our thoughts. It's perfectly natural to have this feeling in the face of indefinite. 

Fear can trigger worry or anxiety, but it has a purpose. This fear can help our body to release stress hormones, in which it helps to give our self an 'alarm' to have some anticipations. 

Overthinking not, preparing yes. 

It's not about overthinking; it's about readiness. 

Once our body have undergone this stress response, it give us pressure about the thing that may not be well for us, we then can engage in logical planning. 

This is where experience and emotional intelligence come into play, together can make the best results. With sufficient preparation, we tend to worry less. 

I don't say it may going to work out 100 percent. 

We can't expect anything to go perfectly as we wish. 

Life, as I mentioned earlier, is filled with twists and turns.

Expecting the unexpected make us have enough worry about the future—not overthinking nor letting it flow.

The key is not to be consumed by worry but to make space for Unpredictability. 

Let's embrace the flow as sometimes our plans won't work as expected, it might changes, but it's perfectly fine! 

In conclusion. 

We can create room for the currents of change. 

We can have better knowledge that flexibility and adaptability are essential attributes on our journey through the unknown.
