Expect the Unexpected

Today’s entry is focused on the unexpected. There is nothing more frightening or more delightful than the unexpected.
In today’s world the most terrifying thing is to experience the unexpected; it is the danger that lurks in our future, the mystery that whispers in the dark. We are told that we must always be on our look out for what eludes us. This can come as an unexpected financial crisis we did not for see, an issue that arises at work, or the ever occurring betrayal of a loved one or friend. These are what we are told you must always beware of for they can ruin your life in an instant. As I have mentioned before there will always be strangers and problems that will try and force themselves into our lives. Nothing scares the general working middle class citizen more than these elements that by their very nature tend to destroy everything we hold dear to our hearts.
But there can also be nothing more wonderful than the unplanned and unexpected events that make up our very lives from day to day. These are the moments we are told we should not measure in breaths but by how many breaths these moments take away. I have watched as family and friends learn of the happy addition to their own little family. The joy and exhilaration of getting a job that you have been longing for, or the raise you obviously deserve.
What then is to be gleaned from the unexpected? It is to learn that one should not fear life. The unexpected will come whether we wish them to or not. Look forward to the future, learn from your past, live in the present moments, and take nothing for granted. Learn from your enemies for they are hidden within your friends, and hold those you trust closest to you for they will be the ones to help you up once you fall.
