You Are Going To Screw Up Your Life

Your life will be a mess. It will be confusing, you’ll fail, and you will be lost.

You’ll be filled with regret looking back and worry looking forward as you miss opportunities happening now that you cannot see from your current point of view.

And you will wait for things to happen that never will while things you never thought possible appear out of thin air.

The question is: What are you going to do about it?

Because while you can try to prepare, it will likely not go anywhere close to what you expect.

Life will twist and turn the vision around, and, before you know it, you will be in a situation you never thought you could be in.

Negatives turn to positives, positives to negatives, what lasted until now is gone in an instant, and things that you never thought you’d get you get without putting in any work at all.

And no matter what you do to prepare for all of it, you will still screw up.

But you will also still succeed; whether you like it or not.

The biggest realization I’ve had about life is that there is only one thing we can say for sure about it all: Nothing is Certain.
