Is life predictable?

When it comes to whether life is predictable, we usually answer "yes". Success is based on preparation and planning, in which case most things are under control. If we follow the planned steps, we can make steady progress toward our goals.

This applies to most situations, but there are always things beyond our control, such as weather, developments, accidents, etc. Even if we have tried to plan everything, there will still be unknown challenges and difficulties along the way. However, in addition to challenges, they can also be opportunities for us. Enjoy the unpredictable things in your life and try to benefit from them!

How do you make life unpredictable?

In addition to the unpredictable elements of our lives, some people are not content to live life on a routine basis. Let's learn more about how we can make our lives more unpredictable?

Get out of the comfort zone

It's also a comfort zone after we've planned everything out. Since everything is under control, we don't get any surprises. Try to step out of your comfort zone and explore the opportunities in our lives!

Hard Working

We don't know when opportunities will arise, and in order to seize them, we need to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills. Therefore, work hard, enrich yourself, and build an unpredictable life through opportunity.

Get help or experience from mentors and friends

When planning, all we can do is to build on what we have. In this case, if we can get help or experience from others, especially from elders or mentors, we can learn many things that we have not been exposed to before.

What should we do if there is failure?

In addition to opportunities, we may also face failures after planning. We may have the fear of failure in the face of unknown challenges and difficulties. If we can adjust our mindset, we can be brave enough to attempt the unpredictable life.

Learn from failure

Failure is simply a way to be proven wrong. We can take failure as a lesson or experience. Learning from it and preventing the same mistakes from being made next time can help us feel less negative in the face of failure.

Keep on learning and improvement

If we have enough skills, difficulties and challenges are no longer serious for us. More learning can also help us improve our self-confidence to face the failures and unknown tasks on the road to success.
