Unpredictable.

In the rhythms of life, there are moments when I find myself clinging tightly to the familiar, to what I think I know. It’s like holding onto these aspects of existence with such intensity that my spirit feels strained, my soul near breaking point. Whether it’s an ideal, a cherished memory, the pursuit of richness in love, health, and wealth, or simply the notion of controlling my destiny — each tightly held in my grasp.

But life, I’ve come to understand, thrives on its unpredictability. It’s in those unexpected twists, those spontaneous turns, that the essence of living reveals itself most profoundly. How could we truly blossom, adjust, or transform if every step of the journey was set out before us like a predetermined plan?

Imagine knowing every triumph and tragedy that lay ahead with certainty. Would we still choose the path we tread now, or opt for something different? These questions challenge us to confront our deepest desires and fears.

For me, a journey of self-discovery has led to a realization: relinquishing control does not mean losing oneself. It’s about allowing my grip to loosen, giving space for life’s unpredictability to work its magic. Welcoming this surrender, I’ve found peace in the belief that my soul’s journey was mapped long before I came into this world.

This spiritual perspective brings clarity amidst the chaos. It reframes hardship as a trigger for growth, turning grief, anxiety, and challenges into pathways leading to unexpected treasures. These treasures manifest as profound connections — with a soulmate whose love sustains, with daughters whose purity of spirit inspires, and with friends who accept every part of me without reservation.

In this journey, learning unfolds naturally, skills acquired through experience and resilience. Memories enriched with love, joy, and laughter, etched deeply into the core moments of my life. And in the midst of everything, there are friendships that go beyond pretending, where authenticity is cherished above all.

Life then becomes a garden nurtured from seeds of unpredictability, each seed essential in crafting a narrative uniquely mine. It’s in surrendering to this unpredictability that I discover the true nature of living — where the journey itself becomes the destination, and the unpredictable becomes the heartbeat of my existence.

Do something to welcome the unpredictability today. Welcome the change, the adaptation, lean into the unpredictability and relinquish control, entirely, even if it’s just for a day. It will all be worth it, I promise.
