There are many times in this life where we wonder what’s going on with it. It would be nice to be able to figure everything out once and for all. But I don’t think that’s how this life is meant to work. I think life is meant to be full of surprises. If we could guess and dictate how our lives go, I don’t think there would be any mystery to it all. We need the mystery of life. There has to be something we have to keep guessing at. Something to keep us on our toes.
So, let it happen. No matter what happens in this life, remember this one thing. You can control your destiny. There’s nothing stopping you from achieving your dreams. There isn’t anything we can’t do, the skies the limit. Isn’t that the saying? The skies the limit? Yeah, something like that.
If we aren’t able to see the future, we can only see the present and take the experiences from the past. We do this in order to become the better version of ourselves. Isn’t that what we want the most? To become a better more enlightened version of who we can be? I think that’s the main goal in life. I know there’s a lot of people who don’t beliee that. They’re too scared to believe in such things. I know how that can be. Life is full of scary things. There’s nothing in this life that isn’t scary. We have to learn how to face it head on and see where the wind will take us.
If there’s anything I’ve learned about this life it’s this. Life keeps secrets from you. Not everything is out in the open. Nothing is out in the clear. That’s fine though. There never is a moment in life where we know exactly how it will all turn out. Life is like a game. Pick any game, there are a number of outcomes during that came that might happen. There’s nothing you can do to predict the outcome or the final score. You might be able to guess about what will happen and all of that, but you will never really know for sure. You’d have to have a time machine in order to do that. But by then, you’ve already lived your life and there’s no going back.
I wonder what would happen if we could peek into the future. See everything there is to be seen. What would we do about life then? Unfortunately no magic eight-ball will help you out with this one. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years it’s this. Don’t expect much out of life, that way you won’t be disappointed when it doesn’t turn out the way you expect it to.
It’s a simple philosophy I think. One that will take you far if you allow it to. If you believe in what it has to say and offer. I guess that’s where the difference lies between people. What they have to offer vs what they are allowed to offer are two different things.
You can’t hide from who you are. You can change, sure. That’s always in the cards for you. But you cannot hide from the person you are today or the person you were. The future is the only constant variable in life, and it’s this: The future remains to be seen. No matter how hard you try, you cannot predict the future. So, what do we do with this knowledge? I say we don’t sweat the small stuff.
Focus on the bigger picture at hand. The small things will take care of themselves. If we are able to keep the bigger agenda in our sights, we can overcome whatever crosses our path. Challenges will still be there, and they might be difficult to overcome, but no matter what we will be able to overcome them. It might bring about personal cost to us, something we might not be able to recover from. But growing pains are necessary in order for us to get through this thing called life.
If we try, we will succeed.
