Check out my poetry podcast on Emotionally Smart Living on Expecting the Unexpected Things are always unexpected, when they undo your expectations. They will happen unexpectedly, without any alerts or notifications. You can expect the worst, and plan for the best, all that you want. You will still be surprised with the outcome, I’m sorry to be so blunt. It is better to know that you should always expect the unexpected. Then you should make those plans be ones that you’ve neglected. For the unexpected isn’t the worst, and it also isn’t the best either. Life is the coach, destiny is the quarterback, and you are the receiver. The unexpected things will never happen in your comfort zone. It is there, that you refuse to take risks, and aren’t injury prone. I have unsurprising news for you, but that isn’t living life at all. You refuse to grow and take risks, and you make yourself small. If you view not getting what you want as something unexpected; You will become unhappy, distraught, and start to feel rejected. Just know that everything in life happens for a reason, so you see. You may not understand it at the time, but it’s part of your destiny. Things will make sense to you, at a much later moment in time. The things that you will learn, will cause a shift in your paradigm. But that is where your life begins, it is a life that is worth living. You don’t focus on the rejected, but on ones you’re permitting They say that you find love, when you aren’t expecting it at all. This is because your guard is down, and you let down your wall. This is true with all things in your life, so stop being so very afraid. Then, you will find the good things in life will no longer be delayed.
