Uncertain

Life has full of uncertainties. Uncertainties in relationship, career, family and sometimes to our self. But with all these uncertainties it teaches how to be strong and adapt to changes. Changes that at first we were hesitant to accept or maybe sometimes refuse to accept. But we don’t have any choice but to go with it. A strong-willed person easily adapts to these changes. It’s like normal to them. As for them life is like that. Just go with flow and all else will be fine. But for some it’s not. A classic example is when a certain employee was retrenched in the job and his relationship with his wife is falling apart. Thus resulted to a very drastic situation that no else could ever imagine. I believe that if a person is physically and psychologically equipped, they will be ever-ready to cop and adapt to these external changes.

All of this changes that is happening in our lives is a result of life’s evolution. A change that happens almost every second of our life. Older people will say, don’t hold on to things or even to a relationship coz one way or another everything will come to pass. Yes and definitely agree on this. That’s why it’s worth it to live-each-day. But be mindful of the future.

When I was young and single, I was so idealistic that things should happen in proper order and always prepare for the future. But now the mindset and ideals has changed. A friend asked me, “where do you want to spend your retirement” and I humbly answered, “I don’t know where and I don’t know how, what’s important now is how I live my “now””. I am more contented to live in my present but am mindful of the future. Mindful in a sense that you don’t over-do and over-use things and the physical self. But the focus is on the present. Simple and stress-free life are the things I wanted to have. No matter how uncertain life maybe.
