I just can't get enough!

You know when it feels like life is giving you the same ole thing? It seems like most things you can expect and it's all run of the mill? As individuals we seem to develop scripts for every situation we are placed in. Which is kind of the point here in life. It seems that we as individuals do not like the unexpected. As a matter of fact I would say that most avoid it like the plague! Some of us are more prone to this type of thinking than others, and even if we don't mind the unexpected it's sort of strange to think that we can make it more pleasant by expecting the unexpected.

Honestly think about that, is the unexpected still 'unexpected' if you expect it? Let me answer my own question. I think that in a way we can never fully expect what the unexpected is. We can know that there will be change and non-scripted moments in our lives, but we can't quite know when they will occur or what they will be. Most importantly we can't know how we will react. We can hope that we will act a certain way, but there isn't a sure way to know, and we really can surprise ourselves.

Personally, change has come and kicked my trash, and at some point everyone deserves a good butt kicking! I try to be grateful- it's like a much needed awakening! It the beauty of life my dears, and it keeps us bouncing back. It keeps life interesting. Interesting is a word that seems appropriate because the changes that we experience, try as we might to find the positive in them, won't be altogether positive. I appreciate it for this specific purpose though: It pulls the real-ness out of people. It is an opportunity to venture into the true core of a person, and see what they are really about. You find out so much about people and yourself at this point in time

Also another reason for keeping planning to a minimum, or at least being 'subject to change'.There are two routes as i see it. Those people who never accomplish anything because they can't commit to plans and just can't seem make it happen for themselves. On the other hand there are those who get frazzled and irritable when things do not go precisely as planned. It seems fitting to find a happy medium for most. If you are a bit of a spontaneous sheila or chap like myself, have tentative ideas, but not definite plans. The spontaneity will kick in and allow you to get things accomplished. If you are a little on the planned side, half of what i'm saying is probably sending you into cardiac arrest. So it may not be your style. It is healthy to find a place between though, and adapt with what you are doing presently.

Wherever you lay on the spectrum of spontaneity and planning, it is good to remember to be flexible with change and be grateful for the change of pace. If it is slower be glad you have time to do more things, if it is faster be glad you have so much going for you and look forward to the finish line!

Alas, to be human is to err. But man, we learn so much if we will just pay attention :)
